Answer 2

The correct option is- b. Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation of Assertion:

• In India, various languages are spoken by people of different states. So, our constitution has not given the status of national language to any of the languages.
• But, there are some languages that have given the status of official language. They are 22 in number.
• In all the central government examinations, the candidates can opt for any of the 22 official languages.
• However, most of the official work of the central government is done in the Hindi language as almost 40% of Indians can read, write and speak Hindi.

Explanation of Reason:

• Federalism is the distribution of some powers by the central government to the state governments.
• This is guaranteed by the seventh schedule of the Indian constitution that enlists various subjects on which central and state governments can make laws.
• Besides this, the regional parties also play an important role in strengthening federalism in India.
• Various judicial announcements from time to time also restructure the centre-state relationship.

Hence, the reason is not the explanation of assertion.
