Question

Assertion (A): The traffic on National Highways has been growing due to industrialisation in the country.

Reason (R): NHAI is responsible for the development, maintenance and management of National Highways.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

Explanation:

Traffic on national highways has grown due to industrialisation, causing more vehicles on these roads. NHAI is responsible for developing and maintaining highways, but this responsibility does not explain why traffic is increasing; the growth is due to industrialisation, not directly because of NHAI’s role.
