Reason (R): Good relations keep the wheels of production rolling.

• 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 true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

When evaluating assertion-reason questions, ensure that both the assertion and reason are individually true, and then check if the reason logically explains the assertion. In this case, the reason directly supports the assertion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Assertion (A): "Harmonious industrial relations are necessary for faster economic development of a country."
This statement is true. Harmonious industrial relations, characterized by peaceful coexistence between employers and employees, play a crucial role in promoting efficient production, minimizing conflicts, and fostering a conducive environment for economic growth. This helps in enhancing productivity and ultimately contributes to the faster development of the country.
- Reason (R): "Good relations keep the wheels of production rolling."
This statement is also true. Good industrial relations ensure that employees work efficiently, are motivated, and are committed to their tasks. In the absence of conflicts or strikes, production processes run smoothly, leading to increased productivity and a steady flow of goods and services. Thus, good relations directly influence the pace of industrial output.
Since both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and the Reason (R) accurately explains why harmonious industrial relations contribute to economic development, the correct option is (1).
