AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Assertion:** The assertion states that "Alcoholics generally suffer from dehydration." This is true because alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means it promotes the production of urine, leading to increased fluid loss from the body. 2. **Understand the Reason:** The reason provided is "Alcohol increases the secretion of ADH which increases the water loss in urine." This statement is incorrect. Alcohol actually inhibits the secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), which is responsible for reducing water loss in urine. 3. **Analyze the Relationship:** Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, we need to evaluate the options based on this analysis. 4. **Evaluate the Options:** - **Option 1:** Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. (Incorrect) - **Option 2:** Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. (Incorrect) - **Option 3:** The assertion is true, but the reason is false. (Correct) - **Option 4:** The assertion is false, and the reason is true. (Incorrect) 5. **Conclusion:** The correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
