In the question given below, there are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Read the statements and chose the correct option:
Assertion (A): At different levels of any government we find functionaries. All those functionaries are collectively known as the executive.
Reason (R): They are called executive because they are in charge of the ‘execution’ of the policies of the government.
Options:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is correct but R is wrong.
(d) A is wrong but R is correct.
Answer:
So, the correct answer is (a)
Explanation:
-
Functionaries make daily
decisions at various levels of any government
, yet they do not act in the people's best interests.
-
The executive is the aggregate term for all of these employees. This executive is in
charge of the ‘execution’ of the policies of the government.
- As a result, when we refer to " the government," we typically mean the executive.
Let’s Check
-
Assertion (A):
At different levels of any government, we find functionaries. All those functionaries are collectively known as the executive. This is
true.
-
Reasoning (R):
They are called executive because they are in charge of the ‘execution’ of the policies of the government. This is
true.
- Executives are in charge of making policies and those executives are present at different levels of government. So, reasoning is the correct explanation for the assertion
So,
- Assertion is true
- Reasoning is true
- Reasoning is the correct explanation for the assertion
Thus, the correct answer is (a).
