Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Assertion (A): Assertion (A): According to Glenn Stahl, unless the recruitment is sound, there is very little hope for recruiting a first-rate staff.
Reason (R): Reason (R): He considers recruitment as the cornerstone of the whole public personnel structure.
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 A and R are true, but R does not explain A, so the answer is option B.
Explanation
★Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A, so the answer is option B.
★Glenn Stahl was an authority on public personnel administration.
★He held that sound recruitment is essential, since a poor recruitment policy yields a weak staff, so the assertion is true.
★He also called recruitment the cornerstone of the whole public personnel structure, so the reason is true.
★Both statements praise the importance of recruitment from slightly different angles.
★But naming recruitment the cornerstone restates its importance rather than explaining why sound recruitment yields first-rate staff.
★Hence both statements are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
