Assertion (A): Due to Globalisation, a country cannot achieve self- sufficiency in food production.

Reasoning (R): Globalisation has created a revolution in IT sector.

Options

• (A) is FALSE but (R) is TRUE.

• (A) and (R) both are TRUE and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

•  (A) and (R) both are TRUE but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Answer 1

(A) and (R) both are TRUE but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

Globalisation pushes countries to trade internationally and import staple crops rather than focusing only on home production, while also driving the IT sector revolution through hyper-connectivity. However, the increase in information technology mentioned in the reasoning has no influence or explanation on a country’s transition away from agricultural self-sufficiency.
