Question:
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A): Quillaia tincture is included in Potassium Citrate Mixture BPC.
Reason (R): Because Quillaia tincture act as an emulgent in Potassium Citrate Mixture BPC, and prevent separation of lemon oil as a surface layer when the lemon spirit is added.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The given question comprises two statements—Assertion (A) and Reason (R)—that need to be evaluated to determine their truthfulness and whether the Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
-
Assertion (A): "Quillaia tincture is included in Potassium Citrate Mixture BPC."
- This statement is factually correct. Quillaia tincture, also known as soapbark, is indeed used in pharmaceutical preparations to act as a surfactant or emulgent. It helps in maintaining the stability of emulsions, which is crucial for preparations like the Potassium Citrate Mixture BPC.
-
Reason (R): "Because Quillaia tincture acts as an emulgent in Potassium Citrate Mixture BPC, and prevents separation of lemon oil as a surface layer when the lemon spirit is added."
- This is also correct. The reason mentions the role of Quillaia tincture as an emulgent, which is to prevent the separation of oil and water phases in emulsions. Lemon oil, being a component that can separate in its oil form, is stabilized by Quillaia tincture when making Potassium Citrate Mixture BPC.
Both statements are true, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A) as it details the purpose of using Quillaia tincture in preventing the separation of lemon oil, making (R) the correct explanation for (A).
Thus, the correct option is: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
