Question

Consider the following statements and select the correct answer from the code given below:

Assertion(A): Economic development requires a multidimensional approach.
Reason(R): The present Government of India is focussing mainly on micro-economic issues.

Codes:

  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of (A).
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
  4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer:

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

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “(A) is true, but (R) is false.”.

The assertion (A) is true because economic development indeed requires a broad approach. However, the reason (R) is not entirely correct in explaining the assertion because economic development involves more than just focusing on micro-economic issues; it also includes macro-economic policies and broader strategies.
