Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Sulpha drug contains a sulphonamide group. |
| Reason (R): | Salvarsan is a sulpha drug. |
| 1. | Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason does not explain assertion. |
| 2. | Assertion and reason both are correct and reason explains the assertion. |
| 3. | Both assertion and reason are wrong statements. |
| 4. | Assertion is the correct statement reason is the wrong statement. |
Hint: Sulpha drug contains a sulphonamide group
Sulfa drugs also called sulfonamide and synthetic antibiotics containing the sulfanilamide molecular structure is a sulfa drug.
Salvarsan is an antibiotic and it is not a sulpha drug because it does not contain sulfonamide.
The structure is as follows:
Hence, Assertion is the correct statement reason is the wrong statement.
