Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Assertion (A):Atyantabhava is eternal.
Reason (R):If a particular thing does not exist in a particular locus at any time, then it is said that there is Atyantabhava of that thing.
ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct
DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Explanation
Both statements are correct and the reason rightly explains the assertion.
Atyantabhava (absolute negation) is the absence of a thing in a locus through all time, past, present and future.
Because this absence holds at every time, it has no beginning and no end.
Having neither origin nor cessation is precisely what makes it eternal.
The definition given in the reason thus grounds the eternality claimed in the assertion.
