Question 4 - Assertion Reasoning - Chapter 7 Class 10 Geography - Lifelines of National Economy - Geography

Assertion (A): Medical Tourism is a unique concept in the travel and tourism industry.

Reason (R): Medical tourism helps in the development of economy.

Answer:

Medical tourism is a  unique concept in the travel and tourism sector. It is significant in the tourist industry as a large number of people travel to different countries for treatment each year. Medical tourism helps in the development of the economy as tourists visiting the countries contribute to foreign exchange.

Therefore, 

• Assertion(A): Medical tourism is a unique concept in the travel and tourism sector. This is true
• Reasoning (R): Medical tourism helps in the development of the economy. This is also true.
• But, uniqueness nature of medical tourism has no relation to the development of the economy. So, the reasoning is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Thus, 

• Assertion is true.
• Reasoning is true
• But the reasoning is not a correct explanation of the assertion. 

So, the correct answer is (B)
