UGC NET assertion reason code – UGC NET Question

In UGC NET assertion–reason items, special codes indicate the truth values of A and R and their explanatory relation. When both statements are true and the reason genuinely explains the assertion, a specific code is prescribed. That code explicitly mentions that A and R are true and that R is the correct explanation of A. Hence the code described in the stem corresponds to Option A.

Option A:
Option A accurately states that A is true, R is true and R correctly explains A. This matches the condition specified in the question. Therefore it is the appropriate code for this pattern of truth and explanation.

Option B:
Option B states that both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. This is used when the statements are independently true but not explanatorily linked. It thus fails to capture the explanatory relation mentioned in the stem.

Option C:
Option C reports that A is true while R is false. Under this code, the reason cannot possibly explain the assertion. Therefore it contradicts the condition that both A and R are true and related explanatorily.

Option D:
Option D indicates that A is false and R is true, which reverses the state of the assertion. In such a case, R cannot correctly explain a false assertion. Hence this code does not satisfy the description in the question.
