Answer 1

Assertion and reasoning refer to finding out whether the assertion and reasoning resonate with each other.

• The correct answers are -

1.

• According to social exclusion, poverty must be understood as a condition in which people only have access to inferior environments.
• They are thus denied the social equality of people who live in better environments.
• Both a cause and an effect of traditional poverty can be social exclusion. In general, it refers to a process by which some people or groups are denied access to resources, advantages, and opportunities that are available to others.
• Thus, Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2.

• The higher likelihood that the poor may be negatively affected than others, especially during difficult times, is known as vulnerability.
• The reason mentions widows, children, and handicapped people who are vulnerable to poverty in India, which suggests that these groups are more likely to be adversely affected by poverty or negative circumstances.
• Thus, Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

3.

• A family of five in a rural location making less than roughly four thousand per month will be considered to be below the poverty line.

• In the city, a family like this would require at least five thousand each month.
• Each individual in India is typically thought to require 2100 calories per day in urban regions and 2400 calories per day in rural areas.
• Thus, A is true but R is false.
