Assertion (A) : Instrumentality role subsumes the subordination of the administrative system to the political control.
Reason (R) : In Parliamentary democracy executive is accountable to the legislature.
Answer the question using the below given codes :
Codes :
Answer: A
The key is A: both statements are true and R explains A.
'Instrumentality' describes the administrative system as an instrument of the political executive: it carries out decisions it did not make, and so it is subordinate to political control (A). In a parliamentary democracy the executive sits in and answers to the legislature, and the permanent administration answers to the executive, so the chain of accountability that runs up to the legislature is why political control over administration is accepted (R).
I found no published source that uses the phrase 'instrumentality role' with this reasoning, so the link from R to A is the logic of the statements and not a confirmed textbook line. Options B, C and D each call one statement false or unrelated, which does not hold for either.
