Assertion (A): Srutis and Smritis form the greatest treasure house of Hinduism
Reason (R): Srutis and Smritis are considered immemorial, timeless and eternal
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Sruti (the Vedas, regarded as revealed) and Smriti (the remembered texts such as Manu and Yajnavalkya) are the primary ancient sources of Hindu law and tradition, so the assertion is true. The reason is false, because only Sruti is treated as eternal revelation; the Smritis were composed by sages and new ones were compiled as social conditions changed. The answer is therefore "'A' is true, but 'R' is false".
