AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle mostly due to genetic disorder is muscular dystrophy." - This statement is **True**. Muscular dystrophy is indeed a genetic disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Rapid spasms in muscle due to low Ca²⁺ in body fluid is tetany." - This statement is also **True**. Tetany is a condition characterized by muscle spasms that can occur due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) in the body. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The assertion and reason describe two different conditions: muscular dystrophy (a genetic disorder) and tetany (a condition caused by low calcium levels). They are not directly related to each other. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is: **(b) If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.** ---
