Question : Assertion (A): The average per capita daily requirement of 2400 calories in rural areas and 2100 calories in urban areas.
Reason: Because in rural areas people do more labor in comparison to urban areas. That’s why more calories are required in rural areas.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Option 3: Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True
Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Solution :
The amount of nourishment needed by people of various ages is determined by an advisory council that ICMR puts up.
I) For individuals residing in rural areas of India, the government has set a daily calorie consumption or nutritional content limit of 2400 calories.
II) The people who live in urban regions are given a calorie need of 2100 calories by the Indian nutritional standards since they engage in fewer physical activities each day.
Because people in rural areas engage in more physically demanding activities like farming, caring for livestock, fishing, etc., their calorie needs are higher than those of metropolitan areas.
Hence option a is the correct answer.
