Question

Assertion (A): Carpooling is the need of the hour, especially in big cities.

Reason (R): Carpooling helps to reduce traffic on the roads.

Options

• Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true, and R is false.

• A is false, and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

Carpooling reduces the number of vehicles on the road, which lowers traffic congestion (and related problems like longer commute times, higher fuel use, and vehicle emissions), so promoting carpooling, especially in big cities with heavy traffic, is indeed urgently needed.
