Assertion:Persons high on alcohol people become more talkative and friendly, and they feel more confident and happy.
Reasoning: Methyl alcohol depresses those areas in the brain that control judgment and inhibition.

Options:

Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Correct Answer:

Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Assertion:Persons high on alcohol people become more talkative and friendly, and they feel more confident and happy. This true. When people consume alcohol, especially in moderate amounts, they often become more talkative, confident, and socially uninhibited. This is due to the depressant effect of alcohol on the central nervous system, particularly in areas of the brain that regulate judgment, self-control, and inhibition.

Reasoning: Methyl alcohol depresses those areas in the brain that control judgment and inhibition. This is false. The statement refers to methyl alcohol (methanol), which is not the type of alcohol consumed in beverages. Methanol is toxic and poisonous, and even small amounts can cause blindness or death. The alcohol consumed in drinks is ethyl alcohol (ethanol), which does affect the brain's control centers.
