Assertion (A) : Corruption is cause of poverty and underdevelopment.
Reason (R) : Poor are corrupt and underdeveloped.
Answer: C
The assertion is true and the reason is false. Corruption diverts public funds, raises the costs of services and discourages investment, so it contributes to poverty and underdevelopment. The reason turns the cause around: it says the poor are corrupt, which is a prejudice and not a finding, and it does not account for the assertion.
Both correct, with or without explanation, is wrong because of the reason. The option that says (A) is false is wrong because the harm of corruption to development is widely recognised.
