Explanation
- Assertion (A): The year 1904 was a particularly bad one for Russian workers because the prices of essential goods rose so quickly that real wages declined by 20 per cent. Thus, assertion (A) is true.
- Reason (R): During the 1905 Revolution, the Tsar allowed the creation of an elected consultative Parliament or Duma which is correct. Thus, the reasoning (R) is true.
- Reasoning (R) is a correct statement but it’s not explaining the reason why 1904 was a particularly bad year for Russian workers. 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) .
