Assertion (A): Assertion (A): The concept of development administration is of recent origin.
Reason (R): Reason (R): Many countries became independent after World War II.
ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true, but R is false
DA is false, but R is true
Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A — Both A and R are true and R explains A, so the answer is option A.
Explanation
★Both A and R are true and R explains A, so the answer is option A.
★Development administration is indeed a recent idea, taking shape only after the Second World War.
★The reason is also true: many countries in Asia and Africa won independence in the years after 1945.
★These new states needed an administration geared to planned social and economic change, not just routine order.
★That need is precisely why the concept of development administration arose when it did.
★So the post-war wave of independence is the cause behind the rise of the concept.
★Hence both statements are true and R is the correct explanation of A, giving option A.
