AIIMS 2018 Zoology Blood-borne Diseases Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Needles should not be used without sterilization.
Reason: AIDS and hepatitis-B spread through body fluid.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A and R are false
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option A is correct because both the assertion and reason are true statements that are directly related: unsterilized needles can indeed transmit diseases such as HIV (which causes AIDS) and hepatitis B through contaminated body fluids. This highlights the importance of sterilization in medical practices to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Other options are incorrect because they either misinterpret the relationship between the assertion and reason or incorrectly classify one or both statements as false, failing to recognize the critical link between needle sterilization and disease transmission.
