Question

Assertion (A): Dengue fever is caused due to failure of clot reaction.
Reason (R): The patient of dengue may require transfusion of blood platelets.

• 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 and R is false.
• D. A is wrong and R is true.

Hint:

In assertion-reason questions, ensure both statements are evaluated independently before checking their causal relationship.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

While it is true that dengue fever can affect blood clotting mechanisms and patients may require platelet transfusion, the disease is caused by a virus and not primarily due to clotting failure. Therefore, A and R are both correct, but R does not explain A.
