Question

Assertion (A): People with endomorph body type tend to be large framed.

Reason (R): They gain weight easily and have to work hard to lose body fat.

In the context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct?

Options

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

• (A) is true, but (R) is false

• (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

Endomorphs tend to be large-framed and they gain weight easily, often finding it difficult to lose body fat. However, weight gain and fat loss do not explain why their body frame is large.
