Assertion (A): A protanope perceives red objects as unusually dark.
Reason (R): The missing long wavelength cone contributes substantially to the luminance signal.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives the cause, and a deuteranope shows no such darkening. The distinction is used clinically to separate the two conditions. Luminance loss distinguishes the two. Both confuse the same colours otherwise.
