Two statements as Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are given below. Read them carefully and select the correct option:
Assertion (A): To broaden the Non-Cooperation Movement, Gandhiji had joined hands with the Khilafat Movement.
Reason (R): Gandhiji hoped that coupling Non-Cooperation and Khilafat could collectively bring an end to the Colonial rule.

• 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 the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is incorrect.
• D. Assertion (A) is incorrect, but Reason (R) is correct.

Hint:

For Assertion-Reason questions, analyze both statements independently and check if one explains the other correctly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are both correct. Gandhiji's collaboration with the Khilafat Movement was aimed at uniting Hindus and Muslims against British colonial rule, effectively broadening the scope of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
