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.
★Gandhi did write that even Swadeshi can be ridden to death if it is made a fetish.
★So the assertion is true.
★He also held that Swadeshi has its roots in the purest Ahimsa, that is love.
★So the reason is true as well.
★But this teaching on the roots of Swadeshi does not explain the warning against making it a fetish.
