Discussion
Assertion (A) : "Canon of helpful sequence" states that the sequence of the classes in an array of classes and of the ranked isolates in an array of ranked isolates, should be helpful to the purpose of those for whom it is intended.
Reason (R) : Different schemes for classification be designed to suit each individual user.
Answer: A
(A) is true but (R) is false.
Assertion A states Ranganathan's Canon of Helpful Sequence correctly: the order of classes in an array, and of isolates in an array of isolates, should be helpful to the people for whom the scheme is meant.
Reason R is false. Classification schemes are designed for a library's community of users, or a type of library, not separately for each individual user; a scheme made for each person would defeat the purpose of a shared, standard arrangement. R also does not follow from A, which speaks of the purpose of users as a group.
