Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The advent of the European trading companies in India adversely affected India's export trade during the seventeenth century.
Reason (R) : Large quantities of silver found its way into India due to the trading activities of the English East India Company in the seventeenth century.
In the context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct ? Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Codes :
Answer: D
The assertion is false and the reason is true, option (D). During the seventeenth century the arrival of the European companies increased India's exports, since the Dutch, English and French bought large quantities of textiles, indigo, saltpetre and spices for sale abroad, so it is wrong that the trade was adversely affected. The reason, that large quantities of silver came to India, is true, because the companies paid for exports mostly with silver. Options (A), (B) and (C) accept the assertion and so are wrong.
