Assertion (A) : Male longevity is lower than female longevity in developed countries.
Reason (R) : Smoking among males is more than females.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, as the key gives. Male life expectancy is lower than female in developed countries, and more men smoke than women, which is one contributing factor.
However, higher male mortality arises from several causes together, including occupational hazards, accidents, alcohol, heart disease and biological differences, so smoking is a part of the explanation but not the whole of it. The options making either statement false are wrong.
