Q.Assertion: Vegetables are important part of healthy eating.
Reason: Vegetables are succulent structures of plants with pleasant aroma and flavours.

Step 1. The Assertion states vegetables are an important part of healthy eating. The chapter confirms this directly: vegetables supply potassium, fibre, folic acid and vitamins A, E and C, all vital for health. So the Assertion is true.

Step 2. The Reason describes vegetables as 'succulent structures of plants with pleasant aroma and flavours.' Checking this against the chapter's own wording shows it is actually the definition given for FRUITS ('edible fruits are fleshy structures with a pleasant aroma and flavours'), not vegetables — the chapter's vegetable definition instead emphasises nutrient content (potassium, fibre, folic acid, vitamins), with no mention of succulence or aroma.

Step 3. Because the Reason statement, as applied to vegetables, does not match the chapter's own definition, it must be marked wrong even though the Assertion itself is correct.

Compare the wording of the Reason sentence against the chapter's specific definitions of 'vegetable' versus 'fruit'.

• Accepting the Reason at face value without checking it against the exact textbook definition
• Assuming a Reason that sounds plausible in general biology must be correct in this specific textbook context
