Assertion (A) : Additional functions can be assigned to the UPSC by amending the constitution to that effect.
Reason (R) : No reference is needed to be made to the UPSC on the issue of reservation of posts for the OBCs.
Codes :
Answer: D
Assertion (A) is false and reason (R) is true. Additional functions are given to the UPSC by an Act of Parliament under Article 321, so no amendment of the Constitution is needed, which makes (A) false.
The reason is true, because the proviso to Article 320 does not require the UPSC to be consulted on reservation of posts in favour of backward classes. Hence the option with (A) false and (R) true is the answer.
