Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Sin-e-Rihaq and Sin-e-Fata are sub types of Sin-e-Numu.
Reason (R) : Because in both Sin-e-Rihaq and Sin-e-Fata, growth and development of individual are progressive towards Sin-e-Shabab.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• 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

Hint:

Remember — Sin-e-Rihaq + Sin-e-Fata = parts of Sin-e-Numu (growth), leading to Sin-e-Shabab (youth).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In Unani medicine, Sin-e-Numu refers to the age of growth.
Sin-e-Rihaq and Sin-e-Fata are indeed sub-stages within the broader stage of Sin-e-Numu.
Sin-e-Rihaq represents early childhood to pre-adolescence, while Sin-e-Fata represents adolescence.
During both these stages, the individual undergoes growth and development, moving progressively towards Sin-e-Shabab — the age of youth or adulthood.
Therefore, the reason correctly explains why Sin-e-Rihaq and Sin-e-Fata are considered sub-types of Sin-e-Numu.
So both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A).
