With the example of this question, written below are some tips and tricks to solve assertion and reason questions efficiently-

1. Knowledge- Before trying one's hands at assertion-reason type questions, a student must very carefully go through the text of all the chapters included in the syllabus because, at times, the assertion and the reason given in a question are from two different chapters. Here, for example, the assertion is from the chapter related to the independence of the world from the British Rule, however, the reason is talking about the French Revolution.
2. Practice- After one is thorough with the text of all chapters, one must start to practice such questions. While practicing, one must try to reason the assertion oneself before reading the reason statement that is given in the question. By doing this, it will become easy for the student to memorize all the information.
3. Exam Time- Students must remain calm and composed while answering questions in the exam. Panic always leads to silly mistakes and to avoid that, one must read all the statements carefully. One should know that they have prepared their best and they will perform well in the exam whatever might be the questions.

Hence, proper knowledge and practice is the key to mastering the art of answering such questions.
