Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). In the context of the two statements, which one of the following is correct?

Assertion (A):Philosophy helps in determining aims of education.

Reason (R):Education depends mostly on philosophy.

ABoth (A) and (R) are true. ✓ Correct

BBoth (A) and (R) are false.

C(A) is true, but (R) is false.

D(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Correct answer: (A) Both (A) and (R) are true.

Explanation

Both the assertion and the reason are true, that philosophy helps determine the aims of education and that education depends largely on philosophy.

Philosophy supplies the values and goals that shape what education seeks to achieve, so the assertion is true.

Education draws its aims, content and methods substantially from philosophical outlooks, so the reason is true.

The claim that both are false does not hold, since each statement is independently correct.

The claim that the assertion is true while the reason is false is wrong, as the reason too is correct.

The claim that the assertion is false while the reason is true is wrong, as the assertion too is correct.

Idealism, naturalism, pragmatism and realism each yield distinct aims of education.
