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 most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A):A valid deductive argument with all true premises will lead to a true conclusion.
Reason (R):In a valid deductive argument, the conclusion follows from the premises with absolute necessity.
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
The Assertion holds: a valid deductive argument with all true premises must yield a true conclusion.
The Reason holds too: in a valid argument the conclusion follows from the premises with absolute necessity.
If the form guarantees the conclusion and every premise is true, a false conclusion becomes impossible.
That necessity is exactly what carries truth from the premises across to the conclusion.
The Reason thus supplies the precise ground for what the Assertion claims.
