Assertion (A) : LISA is a source of primary information.
Reason (R) : All primary sources provide 'original' information.

  • A.(A) is false, but (R) is true
  • B.(A) is true, but (R) is false
  • C.Both (A) and (R) are false
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are true

Answer: A

(A) is false, but (R) is true.

LISA, Library and Information Science Abstracts, is an abstracting service. It does not report new research; it summarises and indexes articles that were first published elsewhere, which makes it a secondary source. So Assertion A is false.

Reason R is true: primary sources, such as research articles, theses, patents and conference papers, are by definition the ones that carry original information, reported for the first time.

Options that call A true, or call R false, are therefore wrong.
