Question

Assertion (A): Employment exchanges run by the government are a source of external recruitment for unskilled and skilled operative jobs.

Reason (R): The records of employment exchanges are always up to date and thus it serves as a good link between job seekers and employers.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False.

• Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False.

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is true because employment exchanges are indeed used for the external recruitment of unskilled and skilled jobs.
• Reason (R) is false because, in reality, employment exchange records are not always up to date, so they may not effectively link job seekers and employers.
