Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Amphetamine is one of the drugs included in the 'dope test' for
athletes. Amphetamines are found in the urine soon after ingestion.
Since metabolism of amphetamines is slow, the drug is found in the urine
for several subsequent days. If the drug is found in the urine test of
athletes, they are debarred to participate. Amphetamines are synthetic
activator of sympathetic nerves bringing about increased activity and
alertness. They are used by some persons to work continuously for hours
or to reduce weight. They reduce mental capability. The drugs are
addictive.
So, the correct
answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
