Question 1 - Assertion Reasoning - Chapter 7 Class 10 Geography - Lifelines of National Economy - Geography

Assertion (A): Goods and services do not move from supply locales to demand locales on their own.

Reason (R): For a long time, trade and transport were restricted to a limited space.

Answer:

Goods and services do not move from supply locations to demand locations on their own. Transport is required to carry products and services from their supply sites to their demand locations. 

Therefore, 

• Assertion (A): Goods and services do not move from supply locations to demand locations on their own, they required transport for their movement. This is true.
• Reasoning (R): For a long time, trade and transport were restricted to limited space. This is also true 
• But, the Movement of goods and services has no relation to the restriction of trade and transport. So, the reasoning is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Thus,

• Assertion is true .
• Reasoning is true
• But reasoning is not a correct explanation of Assertion. 

So, the correct answer is (B)
