Question

In this question, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the appropriate option:
Assertion (A): A person's behavior is never contrary to her/his attitude towards a particular topic.
Reason (R): There would be consistency between attitudes and behaviour when the attitude is strong.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of 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:

While answering assertion-reason questions, always pay attention to the accuracy of both the statements before connecting them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Assertion (A): The assertion is false. It states that behavior always aligns with attitudes, but that is not true. People often exhibit behavior that contradicts their attitudes.
Reason (R): The reason is true. When an attitude is strong, it does tend to show greater consistency with a person’s behavior. Hence, the relationship between behaviour and attitude is often determined by the strength of an attitude.
