Question

In the question below two statements are given-one labeled Assertion (A) and the other labeled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and(d) as given below.

ASSERTION: Till the mid 1960s, the seeds used in cultivation were traditional ones with relatively low yields. Traditional seeds needed less irrigation. Farmers used cow-dung and other natural manure as fertilizers.
REASON:As a result, the same piece of land would now produce far larger quantities of food grains
than was possible earlier. *

a. Both A&R are true, R is the correct explanation of A.
b. Both A&R are true, R is the not correct explanation A.
c. A is correct but R is Wrong.
d. A is wrong but R is correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

(B). Both A&R are true, R is the not correct explanation A.

This is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is b. Both ASSERTION and REASON are true but REASON is not the correct explanation of ASSERTION.

Explanation:

• Traditional seeds with relatively poor yields were employed in cultivation up to the middle of the 1960s.
• Less irrigation was required for traditional seeds.
• Farmers utilized natural manure, such as cow dung, as fertilizer.
• The farmers did not need to purchase any of these because they were all easily accessible.
• High-yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds were made available to Indian farmers as part of the Green Revolution in the late 1960s.
• The HYV seeds claimed to yield substantially more grain on a single plant than the conventional seeds did.
• As a result, much greater amounts of food grains could now be produced on the same plot of land than previously.
• But for the greatest results, HYV seedlings required a lot of water, along with artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
