Question

Answer

Statement Analysis:

Statement 1: Carbohydrates are the only source of energy to humans.
Statement 2: Fats give maximum energy on oxidation as compared to other foods.

Correct statement: 2 only

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrates are the only source of energy to humans.
This statement is incorrect. Although carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for humans, they are not the only source. Proteins and fats can also be metabolized to produce energy.

2. Fats give maximum energy on oxidation as compared to other foods.
This statement is correct. Fats contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins. When fats are oxidized, they release more energy than other nutrients.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, i.e., 2 only.
