Question

Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion and Reason. Assertion (A): If the Food Analyst receives a sample container which is in broken condition or unfit for analysis, he should request the Designated Officer to send him the second part of the sample. Reason (R): The analysis report should be submitted by the Food Analyst within seven days of receipt of the sample.

A.

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B.

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

C.

A is true but R is false

D.

A is false but R is true

Correct option is C


Assertion (A) is true: As per sampling procedures, if the Food Analyst receives a broken or unfit sample container, he is required to request the Designated Officer for the second part of the sample to carry out proper analysis.
Reason (R) is false: The Food Analyst is required to send his analysis report to the Designated Officer within 14 days of receiving the sample, not seven days.
Since the reason gives an incorrect timeline, R is false even though A is true.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option (c) – A is true but R is false.
