Assertion (A) : Indian media have national development as a high priority area for coverage.
Reason (R) : India is an emerging economic power and has to compete with China in the global market.
Codes :
Answer: D
The keyed answer is that (A) is false and (R) is true. Indian media do not give national development a high priority in coverage; they give more space to politics, crime, entertainment and sport. India is, however, an emerging economic power that competes with China, so (R) is true as a fact.
Hence option D. Options A and B take (A) as true, and option C would make (R) false.
The 'high priority' claim fails on any count of the space given: studies of Indian papers and channels have often found that development news gets a small part of the coverage, and the keyed reading follows that finding.
