Assertion (A) : The Association for Information Management still uses the acronym ASLIB.
Reason (R) : ASLIB earned a great reputation by its record of professional service to sustain the acronym.

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

Answer: D

Both (A) and (R) are true.

ASLIB began in 1924 as the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux. When it was renamed the Association for Information Management in 1983, it kept the acronym Aslib as its name, so A is true.

The reason the acronym was retained is the one R gives: over six decades the name ASLIB had earned a strong reputation for professional service, publications and training, and the association did not want to lose it. Neither statement is false, which rules out the other three options.
