Question

(A): The idea of the Indian National Army (INA) was conceived in Malaya by Mohan Singh.

(R): Indian Prisoners of War (POW’s) were handed over by the Japanese to Mohan Singh who inducted them into the INA.

पर्याय

• (R) contradicts (A).

• (R) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (R) is false.

• (A) and (R) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(R) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

Both statements are historically correct. Mohan Singh, a captured Indian officer in Malaya, conceived and started the first incarnation of the INA in Malaya/Singapore after the Japanese handed over captured Indian POWs to him; those POWs provided the manpower he inducted into the INA, so the handing-over of POWs (R) explains and makes possible the conception and formation of the INA by Mohan Singh (A).
