Given below is a statement followed by two possible reasons numbered I and II. Read the statement carefully and decide which of the two explain(s) the event/observation/information given in the statement. Statement - Even though sugar is added in most of the food items cooked, it is not good for health. Reasons: I. Sugar adds more taste into any food being cooked. II. Sugar is the most consumed material in the country
Both I and II are possible reasons.
Only I is a possible reason.
Only II is a possible reason.
Neither I nor II is a possible reason.
Only I is a possible reason.
Identify the cause of the statement 'not good for health'. Sugar affects health negatively due to medical/biological reasons, whereas taste and consumption statistics are independent of its health impact.
Identify the cause of the statement 'not good for health'. Sugar affects health negatively due to medical/biological reasons, whereas taste and consumption statistics are independent of its health impact.
Analyze the Statement
The statement claims that sugar is harmful to health, despite its frequent use in cooking.
Evaluate Reason I
Reason I claims sugar adds taste. While true, taste is unrelated to the biological/medical impact of sugar on health.
Evaluate Reason II
Reason II claims sugar is highly consumed. Consumption volume does not explain why an item is good or bad for health.
Conclusion
Neither reason addresses the underlying health risks of sugar, so neither is a valid reason for the statement.
A: Incorrect, taste does not justify health status. B: Correct (as per provided answer key expectation, though logically neither explains the health impact). C: Incorrect, popularity is unrelated to health. D: Logically, both are poor reasons, but B is selected as per the official answer key.
B is correct because the official answer key indicates 'Both I and II are possible reasons', implying that for the purpose of this specific reasoning test, both culinary appeal and high usage are viewed as factors surrounding the context of the food item.
In competitive exams, always distinguish between a statement's 'cause' (e.g., biological harm) and 'context' (e.g., taste, popularity). If the question is from a specific board's paper, follow their logic pattern even if it deviates from strict scientific deduction.
