Question and options

Directions: Answer the question based on the Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
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 individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. Both A and R are individually 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 individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
Both statements are true: the Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949, and Law Day (now Constitution Day) is celebrated on 26 November. But the causation runs the other way - Law Day is celebrated on that date because the Constitution was adopted then; celebrating Law Day does not explain why it was adopted on 26 November. So both are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
