Question

Assertion (A): Smart City Mission was launched in 2021.

Reason (R): Digital India programme was launched in 2015.

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 false but Reason (R) is true.

Explanation:

• The Smart City Mission was launched in 2015, not in 2021.
• The Digital India programme was indeed launched in 2015.

Therefore, the assertion that the Smart City Mission was launched in 2021 is false, but the reason that the Digital India programme was launched in 2015 is true.

These two facts are unrelated as explanation, so the reason is not the cause of the assertion being true or false.
