AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "Emulsification is necessary for the digestion of fat." - Emulsification is the process of breaking down large fat globules into smaller droplets, which increases the surface area for enzymes to act upon. - This process is crucial for the digestion of fats because it allows lipases (the enzymes that digest fats) to access the fat molecules more effectively. 2. **Evaluating the Reason:** - The reason states that "After fats are emulsified, the action of enzyme amylase gets significantly increased." - Amylase is an enzyme that specifically acts on carbohydrates (like starch) and breaks them down into simpler sugars (like maltose). - It does not act on fats. Therefore, the statement about amylase's action being increased after emulsification of fats is incorrect. 3. **Determining the Truth Values:** - The assertion is true because emulsification is indeed necessary for fat digestion. - The reason is false because amylase does not act on fats and is unrelated to the emulsification process. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is: "If A is true and R is false."
