Question and options

Direction: In this question two statements are labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). In the context of the two statements, which of the following is correct?
Assertion (A) : President is the head of state in India
Reason (R) : Indian Parliament consists of President, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. A is true but R is false
  4. A is false but R is true

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
Both statements are true: the President is the head of state (Art 52-53) and Parliament consists of President, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha (Art 79). But Parliament's composition does not explain why he is head of state, so both are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
