Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below :
Assertion (A) : The metropolitan cities are numerically dominated by male adult population.
Reason (R) : Migration is age and sex selective.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion. Metropolitan cities are numerically dominated by adult males because many migrants to the cities come alone for work, and migration is selective of age and sex, with young adult men moving most, so the surplus of males follows from the selectivity.
Option B would say that the reason does not explain it, but selectivity is exactly the cause of the male-heavy structure. Options C and D wrongly call one statement false.
