Assertion and Reason type questions require the candidate to evaluate both the assertion (statement) and the reason (explanation) given to them and determine the relationship between the two. Let us evaluate the given assertion and reason:
Assertion A: Uraiyur and Madurai were the leading centres of textile industry.
Reason R: Untouchability was practised but slavery was unknown.
Now, let us evaluate the options given to us:
a)If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
If both A and R are true and R correctly explains A, then the answer is a. However, we cannot say that the reason R is the correct explanation of the assertion A. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
b)If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A, then the answer is b. This is the correct option as Uraiyur and Madurai were indeed the leading centres of textile industry, but the reason given for it is not entirely correct.
c)If A is true and R is false.
If A is true and R is false, then the answer is c. However, the reason R is not entirely false. It is partially true as untouchability was indeed practised during that time.
d)If A is false and R is true.
If A is false and R is true, then the answer is d. However, the assertion A is true as Uraiyur and Madurai were indeed the leading centres of textile industry.
e)If both A and R are false.
If both A and R are false, then the answer is e. However, the assertion A is true as Uraiyur and Madurai were indeed the leading centres of textile industry, and the reason R is partially true as untouchability was practised during that time.
In conclusion, option b is the correct answer as both the assertion A and reason R are true but the reason R is not the correct explanation of the assertion A.
