Given below are two statements, one laballed as Assertion (A), and the other labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : The major Thrust of Quantitative Revolution is to bring law making, model building and Theorization in Geography.
Reason (R) : After the second world war, young geographers discarded the empirical, descriptive and gazetteer type of Geography by using the mathematical language rather than the language of literature. Select your answer from the codes given below :
Codes :

  • A.(A) is correct but (R) is wrong.
  • B.(A) is wrong but (R) is correct.
  • C.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

Answer: C

Both statements are correct and the Reason explains the Assertion. The quantitative revolution after the Second World War set out to make geography a law-seeking science, using theory and models, and young geographers gave up descriptive, gazetteer-type work for mathematical language.

The turn to mathematics is why law making and model building became the main thrust, so (R) is the correct explanation of (A), and neither statement is wrong.
