Assertion (A) : The relationship of a Minister and a Civil Servant is that of a Master and a Servant.
Reason (R) : A Civil Servant is required to render honest advice to the Minister.
Codes :
Answer: D
The assertion is false and the reason is true. A civil servant is not the servant of the minister in the sense of master and servant. He is a servant of the Crown or the State, bound to give the minister honest advice and to carry out lawful decisions, but he is not a personal servant.
The options calling the assertion true are wrong for that reason. In the option that both are correct, the reason cannot explain a relationship that does not exist.
