Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Assertion (A): Economic globalisation promotes prosperity and opportunity for all.
Reason (R): Economic globalisation promotes an open, market-based economy that brings social and political benefits.
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
CA is true but R is false
DA 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 on their own terms, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, so the second option is right.
Explanation
★Both statements are true on their own terms, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, so the second option is right.
★The assertion claims that economic globalisation brings prosperity and opportunity for everyone, which is a strong universal claim.
★The reason states that globalisation promotes an open, market-based economy with social and political benefits, which describes how it works.
★An open market economy can generate growth, yet it does not by itself guarantee that the gains reach all groups, since the benefits of globalisation are often uneven.
★The reason therefore explains the market mechanism but not the "for all" promise in the assertion, which is why it is not its correct explanation.
★A useful exam habit here: in A-R items, first test whether each statement is true and then whether the reason actually justifies the assertion.
