Question

Given below are two statements, one of which is labelled as Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R). Read both the statements carefully: Assertion (A): The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has developed a classification process which can contribute "to sporting excellence for all athletes and sports in the Paralympic Movement, and provide equitable competition." Reason (R): The classification process serves two roles. The first is to determine who is eligible and the second is to grouping the sports people for the purpose of competitions. In the context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct?

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

In questions where assertion and reason are evaluated, it is crucial to determine whether the reason effectively supports or justifies the assertion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Both the assertion and the reason are accurate. The classification system utilized by the IPC promotes fair competition by assessing eligibility and grouping athletes appropriately for events, consistent with the reason stated.
Step 1: The IPC's classification method enhances fairness by systematically categorizing athletes to ensure that competitions are balanced.
Step 2: The provided reason (R) justifies the necessity of the classification process and corroborates the assertion that it fosters sporting excellence.
