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 :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not correct explanation of (A).
  • C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  • D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

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.
