Answer 1

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

Explanation:

Assertion: True – In the First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) system, a candidate does not need to secure a majority of votes, only more votes than the other candidates.

Reason: True – Under this system, the candidate who receives the highest number of votes wins, even if the total is less than 50%.

Therefore, the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
