AIIMS 2019 Zoology Acraniata Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Assertion: Acraniata is a group of organisms which do not have distinct cranium. Reason: It includes small marine forms without head.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Option B is correct because the assertion accurately describes Acraniata as organisms lacking a distinct cranium, while the reason correctly identifies that this group includes small marine forms without a head. However, the reason does not serve as a direct explanation for the assertion, as the absence of a cranium does not inherently imply the absence of a head in all contexts.

Option A is incorrect because, although both statements are true, the reason does not explain the assertion. Option C is incorrect since the assertion is true and the reason is also true, making it impossible for the reason to be false. Option D is incorrect because both the assertion and reason are indeed true.
