Question 1 - Assertion Reasoning - Chapter 6 Class 10 Geography - Manufacturing Industries - Geography

Assertion (A): The Government of India buys wheat and rice from farmers at fair prices. Reason (R): Public sector contributes to the economic development.

Answer

So the correct answer is (b) - Both Assertion(a) and Reason (r) are true but reason (r) is not the correct explanation of assertion (a).

Explanation

• Assertion (a): The Government of India buys wheat and rice from farmers at fair prices. Thus assertion is true.
• Reasoning (r): Public sector contributes to economic development. Thus reasoning is true.
• Public sector contribution is not related to the government buying wheat and rice from farmers. Thus, Reasoning (r) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (a).

Thus,

• Assertion is true
• Reasoning is true
• and Reasoning is not the correct explanation of Assertion

So, the correct answer is (b).
