Question

Assertion (A): To call a strike is a difficult decision.

Reason (R): Managers may try to use substitute labour. Workers also find it hard to sustain themselves without wages.

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, but 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

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation Assertion (A).

Explanation: 

There can be other reasons such as fear of job loss, retribution by the management, legal issues, etc. Hence, Reason (R) does not provide a correct explanation of Assertion (A) as it only presents one of the reasons why calling a strike is a difficult decision.
