Assertion (A) : Ergonomics is also referred to as 'Human Factors'.
Reason (R) : The focus of the study is on worker fatigue.
Answer: A
Ergonomics is also called human factors, so the assertion is correct. The reason is wrong, since its focus is the fit between the worker, the work and the environment, with the aim of efficiency, comfort and safety, and fatigue is only one of the concerns. So (A) is correct but (R) is wrong. Ergonomics studies people in relation to their work, with attention to the design of tools, workplaces and tasks for comfort, safety and efficiency. Calling its focus worker fatigue narrows it too much, and so the reason is false although the assertion is true.
