Discussion
Read Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and with the help to codes given below, point out the correct explanation :
Assertion (A) : An acceptance is to a proposal what a lighted match is to a train of gunpowder.
Reason (R) : Acceptance converts the offer into a promise and then it is late to remove.
Answer: A
Both A and R are true and R is a good explanation of A.
The assertion is Sir William Anson's well-known image: an acceptance is to an offer what a lighted match is to a train of gunpowder. It produces something that cannot be recalled or undone. The reason states why: once the offer is accepted it becomes a promise, a binding agreement, and it is then too late to withdraw it.
So R gives exactly the ground for A's comparison, which rules out the option saying it is not a good explanation, and both options treating one statement as false.
