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): In the medieval period the madrasas continued to be concerned principally with Muslim theology and its vast literature.
Reason (R): Much of the higher instruction was undertaken outside the madrasas, by individual teachers who often gave their personal certificates.
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.
★The madrasas in the medieval period dealt mainly with Muslim theology and its literature.
★So the assertion is true.
★Much higher instruction was indeed given outside the madrasas by individual teachers.
★So the reason is also true.
★But the work of these teachers does not explain why the madrasas focused on theology, so it is not the explanation.
