Assertion (A): Presidential system provides for a stable governance model for a full term.
Reason (R): Centralization of power is inherent in the presidential system.
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 but the reason does not explain the assertion, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
Explanation
★Both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
★In a presidential system the President serves a fixed full term, giving stable governance.
★The President is both head of state and head of government.
★The system rests on a separation of powers between the executive and legislature.
★It does concentrate considerable authority in the President.
★Stability comes from the fixed term, not from the centralisation of power, so R does not explain A.
★Both features are real but address different aspects of the system.
