DIRECTION: Mark the option which is most suitable:Assertion : India i...
Assertion and Reason:
- Assertion: India is a federation.
- Reason: Power resides with the central authority.
Explanation:
- India is a federal country, which means power is divided between the central government and the state governments.
- The assertion that India is a federation is true because it follows the principles of federalism.
- The reason given is that power resides with the central authority. This is not entirely correct as power is shared between the central government and the state governments.
- While the central government has certain powers that are exclusive to it, such as defense and foreign affairs, the state governments also have their own powers in areas like education, healthcare, and law and order.
- The central authority does have significant powers and can override certain decisions of the state governments in certain situations, but this does not mean that power solely resides with the central authority.
- Therefore, the reason provided is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Conclusion:
- Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
