Question

Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). In the context of the two statements, which of the following is correct ?

Assertion (A) : In India, people elect their own representatives.

Reason (R) : India has democracy.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

The logic followed here is:

Assertion (A) : In India, people elect their own representatives.

Reason (R) : India has democracy.

India has a democracy that means people elect their own representatives with their choice. In a democratic country, all eligible citizens have the right to participate, either directly or indirectly, in making the decisions that affect them.

So both assertion and reason are true and we can say that Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Hence, "option 1" is the correct answer.
