UGC NET July 2018 History
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 dam was as much an index of the value of copper as the rupee was of silver; the regional price variations attained a much greater importance in the case of copper metal than in that of gold or silver.
Reason (R): The main supplies were from the mines of the northern and eastern slopes of the Aravalli and the Vindhyan ranges, and the proximity to these could play a large part in determining the extent of differences in price among various markets.
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
CA is true, but R is false ✓ Correct
DA is false, but R is true
Correct answer: (C) A is true, but R is false — The assertion is true but the reason is false, so the answer is A true but R false.
Explanation
★The assertion is true but the reason is false, so the answer is A true but R false.
★In the medieval period the dam stood for the value of copper as the rupee stood for silver.
★Regional price differences were greater for copper than for gold or silver.
★So the assertion is true.
★But the account of the supply coming mainly from the Aravalli and Vindhyan slopes is not borne out as stated.
★So the reason is false.
