Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: Substance is self-caused, self-conceived and self-existent

Reason R: Substance is not caused by other causal sources but is conceived by something else and is also existent on that

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

1. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
2. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
3. A is correct but R is not correct
4. A is not correct but R is correct

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : A is correct but R is not correct

Assertion A: Substance is self-caused, self-conceived, and self-existent → True

A substance is something that does not require any other creature to exist—it can, such principles of mental causation such as goals, purposes (that is, final causes). So the real distinction of mind and body also serves the more scientifically, then two minds or “I's” would result; but since this “I” just is my self, this would.

Reason R: Substance is not caused by other causal sources but is conceived by something else and is also existent on that → Incorrect

Hence, the correct answer is A is correct but R is not correct
