CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Felbamate Toxicity: Assertion and Reason Analysis

Assertion A Analysis

Assertion A states that Felbamate shows a rare occurrence of aplastic anaemia and severe hepatotoxicity. This statement is correct. Felbamate is recognized for these potential serious side effects, although they are infrequent.

Reason R Analysis

Reason R suggests that the toxicity is associated with the formation of reactive metabolites. This statement is also correct. The metabolism of Felbamate can generate reactive intermediate compounds.

Connecting Reason to Assertion

The reactive metabolites formed during Felbamate's breakdown are believed to be responsible for the cellular damage that leads to conditions like aplastic anaemia and hepatotoxicity. Therefore, Reason R provides the underlying mechanism explaining Assertion A.

Conclusion

Both Assertion A and Reason R are factually correct, and Reason R serves as the direct explanation for the adverse effects mentioned in Assertion A.

The most appropriate answer is: Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
