Discussion
Assertion (A) : Lean Body Mass is the amount of body weight excluding body fat.
Reason (R) : Body composition involves components with which human body is formed.
In the context of above statements, which one of the following statements is correct ?
Answer: A
Both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, option A. Lean body mass is body weight excluding body fat. Body composition does involve the components of the body, but that general statement does not explain the definition of lean body mass.
Option B claims an explanation, and options C and D call a true statement false.
Lean body mass includes muscle, bone, organs and body water. A person's body composition is commonly split into fat mass and fat-free (lean) mass, and the second statement is only a general description of that field.
