Question and options

Direction: Two statements are given, labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R). In the context of the two statements, which of the following is correct?
Assertion (A) The Indian Constitution was adopted on 26th November, 1949
Reason (R) Law Day is celebrated in India on 26th November every year
  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (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 and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
The Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949 (true), and Law Day/Constitution Day is celebrated on 26 November (true). But the celebration is a consequence of the adoption, not an explanation of it, so both are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
