Question

Assertion : A state has a per capita income of Rs. 2, 25, 000 per annum. The infant mortality rate in the state is 2%. So, the state cannot be considered a developed state.
Reason : There are medical facilities in the state, but people fail to take their children to hospital in time.​

Answer 1

The missing options of the question are -

(a) If Both assertion and reason are true, and reason

is the correct explanation of assertion.

(b) If Both assertion and reason are true, but reason

is not the correct explanation of assertion.

(c) If Assertion is true, but reason is false.

(d) If Both assertion and reason are false.

The assertion is true but the reason is false.

• The statement is true; the explanation, however, is false.  ( C )
• It is false, because if parents are receiving good income,  then there are many facilities such as medical benefits available to them, thus they will probably take  their infant for a timely care.
• Some parents may even struggle to take their children for immediate medical help, but not so many that the baby  death becomes considerable.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Both Assertion and reason is false

Explanation:

Assertion says that the infant mortality rate is 2 percent so the health facility of that particular state is very developed and the per capita income of the state is very high so the state becomes a developed state

the reason is false because if the parents are earning well and medical facilities are available, then they would definitely take their child for timely treatment. Also, some parents may fail to do so, but not so many that the infant mortality rate would be as high as 62%.
