    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful diagnostic tool for producing images of various parts of human body. Reason: Protons of various tissues of the human body play a role in MRI.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C) If assertion is true statement but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Spin technology, called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has been applied to medical diagnostics with great success. The protons of the various tissues of the human body are situated in many different local magnetic environments. When the body, or part of it, is immersed in a strong external magnetic field, these environmental differences can be detected by spin-flip techniques and translated by computer processing into an image resembling those produced by X-rays. Hence, option (b) is true.
