Assertion : The enlarged Q and R waves indicate myocardial infarction. Reason: The QRS complex represents ventricular repolarisation.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
The enlarged Q and R waves indicate a myocardial infarction (heart attack). QRS complex begins as small downward deflection (Q) and continues as large upright ( R ) and triangular wave ending as downward wave (S) at its base. It represents ventricular depolarisation (ventricular contraction).
