The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Analgesics bring down the body temperature at high fever." - **Explanation**: Analgesics are medications that relieve pain but do not necessarily reduce fever. The correct term for medications that reduce fever is "antipyretics." Therefore, this assertion is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Penicillin is a tranquilliser." - **Explanation**: Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not a tranquilliser. Tranquillisers are drugs that affect the central nervous system to reduce anxiety and promote calmness. Therefore, this reason is also incorrect. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we can conclude that neither statement is true. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is false. - The reason is false. - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both A and R are false. ### Final Answer The correct option is D: Both A and R are false. ---
