Assertion (A): The life of these pastoral groups was sustained by a careful consideration of a host of factors.
Reason (R): They combined a range of different activities—cultivation, trade and herding to make their living.
Answer:
So the correct answer is (b) - Both Assertion(a) and Reason (r) are true but reason (r) is not the correct explanation of assertion (a).
Explanation
-
Assertion (A):
The life of these pastoral groups was sustained by careful consideration of a host of factors like water and pasture and the time of their travel. Thus, assertion (A) is
true.
-
Reason (R):
They combined a range of different activities—cultivation, trade and herding to make their living which is a correct statement. Thus, the reasoning (R) is
true.
- Reasoning (R) is a correct statement but it’s not explaining the reason why the life of pastoral groups was sustained by careful consideration of a host of factors. Thus, Reasoning (r) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (a).
Thus,
- Assertion is true
- Reasoning is true
- But Reasoning (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
So, the correct answer is (b) .
