Question 1 - Assertion Reasoning - Chapter 4 Class 10 Political Science - Political Parties - Political Science

Assertion (A): India has Multi Party System.

Reason (R): The Multi Party System often appears very messy and leads to political instability.

Answer:

So, the correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

• Political instability is often associated with the multi-party system . As a result, there is confusion among the people due to the different objections raised by the various parties.
• The vastness of India prompted the development of this system. Such a large country cannot easily be divided between two or even three parties because of its social and geographical diversity.
• The multi-party system provides political representation to a wide range of interests and opinions.

Let’s check

• Assertion : India has Multi-Party System. This is true.
• Reason: The Multi-Party System often appears very messy and leads to political instability. This is true.
• Political instability is often the result of the Multi-Party System but this is not the reason why India has a multi-party system. So, the reasoning is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

So, 

• Assertion is true
• Reasoning is true
• But, reasoning is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Thus, the correct answer is (b).
