Answer
So, the correct option is (c) - Assertion (A) is correct but Reason (R) is wrong.
Explanation
- Assertion (A) - Workers in England and Germany began forming associations to fight for better living and working conditions. So the assertion is true.
- Reason (R) - They wanted new machinery to be installed in factories which is false because the association was to fight for better living and working conditions and to demand a reduction of working hours and the right to vote.
- To fight for better living and working conditions , workers in England and Germany began forming associations . Thus, the assertion is true but the reasoning is false .
Thus,
- Assertion is true.
- Reasoning is false.
- Thus, Reasoning is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
So the correct answer is (c).
