Read Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and answer by using codes below :
Assertion (A) : The law takes cognizance of carelessness in the abstract.
Reason (R) : Cause of action for negligence accrues when real damage is suffered.
Answer: D
(A) is wrong, but (R) is right.
The law does not take cognizance of carelessness in the abstract. Negligence is actionable only where there is a duty of care owed to the plaintiff, a breach of it, and damage resulting; careless conduct that harms no one gives no cause of action. So the assertion is false.
The reason is true: negligence is not actionable per se, so the cause of action accrues only when actual damage is suffered, which is also when limitation begins to run. Since A is false, the options treating both as true are wrong.
