Discussion
Choose the correct Option on the basis of an Assertion (A) and reasons (R) given below. Assertion(A):- Central Pollution Control Board has been described in section 3 of the Air-Prevention and Control of Pollution-Act-1981.
Reason(R):- Definition of Air pollution has been discussed in section 2 of the Air-Prevention and Control of Pollution-Act-1981.
Answer: C
Both statements are true but the Reason does not explain the Assertion, so the answer is both correct, R not the correct explanation of A. Section 3 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 provides for the Central Pollution Control Board, and Section 2 is the definitions section, which defines air pollution.
The fact that air pollution is defined in Section 2 does not make the Central Board appear in Section 3; the two are separate provisions. The options calling either statement false are wrong, and the option saying R explains A is also wrong.
