Thank you for your question. I will try to make an assertion reasoning question for the question paper from the pdf you provided. Here is one possible question:
Assertion (A): The population of India is unevenly distributed over different states and union territories.
Reason (R): The population density of India is 382 persons per sq km.
Options:
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true and (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:
-lock-
The correct answer is (b).
Explanation:
The population of India varies widely from state to state and from union territory to union territory.
For example, Uttar Pradesh has the highest population of about 199 million, while Lakshadweep has the lowest population of about 64 thousand.
The population density of India is 382 persons per sq km according to the 2021 census.
However, the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion as there are many other factors that influence the population distribution such as physical features, climate, water resources, economic factors, social, and political factors. The population density only indicates the average number of people living in a unit area, but it does not reflect the actual distribution of people over different regions. Therefore, the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Let’s check
-
Assertion (A):
The population of India is unevenly distributed over different states and union territories.
This is true
.
-
Reason (R):
The population density of India is 382 persons per sq km.
This is true.
-
However, the
reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
as there are many other factors that influence the population distribution such as physical features, climate, water resources, and political factors. The population density only indicates the average number of people living in a unit area, but it does not reflect the actual distribution of people over different regions.
So, the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
So,
- Assertion is true
- Reason is true
- And, the reasoning is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Thus, the correct answer is (b).
