AIIMS 2018 Botany Red Data Book Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Red data book has a record of only those animals which are known to be in danger. Reason: Endangered species no need to be noticed.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because the Red Data Book specifically documents species that are at risk of extinction, highlighting those that are endangered. However, the reason is false; endangered species do require attention and conservation efforts, contrary to the implication that they do not need to be noticed. Option A is incorrect because the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, while option B is incorrect as it states both are true but fails to recognize the reason's inaccuracy. Option D is incorrect since the assertion is indeed true.
