Question

Read the following statements-Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose one of the correct alternatives given below:

Assertion (A): Cottage industries use locally available resources.

Reason (R): They use old techniques of production.

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

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

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is true because cottage industries do use locally available resources.
• Reason (R) is also true as many cottage industries use old or traditional techniques of production.
• However, Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A), because the use of locally available resources is independent of whether old techniques are used or not.
