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): India shook off a large part of its political conservatism after the increasing entry of women into public affairs.
Reason (R): If by strength is meant brute strength, then indeed is woman less brute than man; if by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.
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.
★Women took an active part in the Swadeshi and Non-Cooperation movements.
★Through these movements society saw the power of women.
★So the assertion is true.
★The statement about the strength of women is also true as a general idea.
★But this idea of moral strength does not directly explain the loss of political conservatism, so it is not the explanation.
