Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : Money can resolve most of our problems.
Reason (R) : We are living in a hierarchical society.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the correct relationship between the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R), we need to evaluate both statements individually and see how they relate to each other.

1. Assertion (A): "Money can resolve most of our problems."
   • This statement suggests that financial resources can address many issues individuals face, such as health care, education, and basic needs, due to its power to provide solutions to material needs.
   • This is generally considered a correct statement, as money does indeed help in resolving many practical issues faced by individuals.
2. Reason (R): "We are living in a hierarchical society."
   • This statement indicates that society is structured in layers of power, wealth, and status, and it is also a correct observation.
   • The hierarchical nature of society often influences access to opportunities and resources, which can impact the problems individuals face.
3. Analyzing the Connection:
   • While both statements A and R are individually correct, R does not directly explain why money can resolve most of our problems.
   • The hierarchical structure of society might affect the distribution and access to resources, but it is not the direct reason why money helps in solving problems.

Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the appropriate answer is: Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
