Assertion (A) and Reason (R) pattern :
Assertion (A) : The Cabinet operates under the leadership of the Prime Minister in Japan.
Reason (R) : In Japan the Cabinet is responsible to the Emperor and not to the Diet.
Answer the question using the codes given below :
Answer: B
The answer is (A) is true, but (R) is false.
Under Japan's 1947 Constitution, the Cabinet is headed by the Prime Minister, who is designated by the Diet and appoints and removes the other ministers, so the assertion is true.
The reason is false. Article 66 makes the Cabinet collectively responsible to the Diet, not to the Emperor, who is only the symbol of the state with no powers related to government. So both options treating R as true are wrong, and so is the option calling both false.
