UGC NET 02nd Jan 2026 Shift 1
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Assertion (A): Validity can never apply to any single proposition by itself.
Reason (R): Validity and invalidity are attribute of arguments.
ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct
DA is not correct but R is correct
Answer: A
Explanation
★Validity describes how well the premises of an argument support its conclusion, so it is a feature of arguments and not of a lone proposition standing on its own. Since validity and invalidity are attributes of arguments, a single proposition by itself can be true or false but never valid or invalid. Both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion.
