Assertion (A) : Modern technology enhances the importance of war and threats of war.
Reason (R) : War no longer is just a contest of strength. It is more a contest of nerve and risk taking.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. Modern technology, such as nuclear weapons and missiles, has raised the importance of war and the threat of war. It is also true that war is no longer just a contest of strength and has become more a contest of nerve and risk taking, as in nuclear deterrence and brinkmanship. But the second statement describes a feature of the new kind of war and is not the reason why technology enhances the importance of war. Option B is correct, and not option A.
