Paper 1 · Teaching Aptitude
Choose the correct answer from the following code for the assertion and reason given below.
Assertion (A): Learning is a lifelong process.
Reason (R): Learning, to be useful, must be linked with lifelong processes.
ABoth (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
BBoth (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) ✓ Correct
C(A) is true, but (R) is false
D(A) is false, but (R) is true
Correct answer: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) — Both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, so that is the answer.
★Learning truly is a lifelong process, going on from birth to old age, so the assertion is true.
★It is also true that learning, to be useful, must be linked with lifelong processes, so the reason is true.
★The assertion states a fact about the nature of learning, that it goes on all through life.
★The reason states a condition for learning to be useful, which is a separate idea from why learning is lifelong.
★So although both statements are true, the reason does not give the cause of the assertion.
