The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding the biopsy test for cancer, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in a biopsy test for cancer, a piece of the suspected tissue is cut into thin sections, stained, and examined under X-ray by a pathologist. - **Evaluation**: This statement is accurate. A biopsy involves taking a sample of tissue, preparing it for examination, and analyzing it to check for cancerous cells. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the use of X-ray is able to generate a 3-D image of the section of affected tissue. - **Evaluation**: While X-rays can provide images of tissues, they typically produce 2-D images. However, advanced imaging techniques like CT scans (which use X-ray technology) can create 3-D images. This statement is misleading as it implies that standard X-ray alone can generate a 3-D image. 3. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true because it correctly describes the biopsy process. - The reason is misleading because it inaccurately represents the capabilities of X-ray imaging in the context of biopsy analysis. - Therefore, while both the assertion and reason are related to the biopsy process, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Read the following statements regarding the various techniques used in cancer detection. (i) Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies of the tissue, and blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in case of leukaemia. (ii) In biopsy, a piece of the suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope by a pathologist. (iii) Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. (iv) Computed tomography uses strong magnetic fileds and non-ionising radiations to detect physiological changes in living tissues. (v) MRI uses X-rays and ionising radiation to generate a 3-D image of the internal structure of an object. Which of the above statements are incorrect ?
