Question : Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That's because tigers are the largest of all cat species. They grow up to eleven feet long and weigh as much as 670lbs. This makes tigers the third largest land carnivore. The only larger land carnivores are polar bears and brown bears respectively. Tigers are not only large, but they are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous pounce. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. The tiger is an endangered species.

Despite all of the tiger's strengths, the future of the species is uncertain. Tigers face a very high risk of extinction. It is estimated that at the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of captivity dwindled to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140lbs That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.
Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger pelts are worth around 10,000 on the black-market. Though the fur would be incentive enough for most poachers, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, amongst other parts, in some prescriptions.

Correct Answer: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
 


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

The assertion states that AYUSH systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda and Yoga, are recognized as complementary to allopathic medicine, which is correct. AYUSH stands for Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. These systems of medicine are recognized and practiced in many countries, including India, as complementary to allopathic medicine. They are often integrated into healthcare systems to provide additional holistic healthcare options to patients.

The reason provided states that AYUSH systems have their unique principles and practices, which provide holistic healthcare options, and this is the correct explanation of the assertion. AYUSH systems of medicine have their own set of principles, philosophies, and practices that focus on holistic health and well-being. They emphasize natural remedies, lifestyle modifications, and preventive measures to maintain health and treat diseases. By offering a holistic approach, AYUSH systems complement allopathic medicine, which primarily focuses on disease management using pharmaceuticals and surgeries.

Therefore, both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason serves as the correct explanation for why AYUSH systems of medicine are recognized as complementary to allopathic medicine.
