Question

Two statements are given below as Assertion (A) and Reasoning (R). Read the statement
and choose the most appropriate option:

Assertion (A): Indian farmers should diversify their cropping pattern from cereals to
high value crops.

Reason (R) :This will increase income and reduce environmental degradation
simultaneously

(a)Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A).

(b)Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

(c)Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

(d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 2) both a and r are true but r is not the correct expectation of a

Explanation:

Option "2" is considered as correct because it says that both the assertions and the reason are true but the expected result may not be true. This is due to the fact that changing the crop may increase the yield and income but it may not reduce environmental degradation.

Since, the crop to be cultivated and the method is not mentioned. So, we can not say if it will reduce environmental degradation or not.

Hope it helps!
