Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Anthropology is the holistic science of mankind.
Reason (R) : It focuses on only certain aspects of human beings.
In the context of the above two statements which one of the following is correct ?
Codes :

  • A.(A) is true and (R) is not true.
  • B.(A) is false and (R) is true.
  • C.(A) is false and (R) is also false.
  • D.(A) is true and (R) is also true.

Answer: A

(A) is true and (R) is not true.

Anthropology is indeed the holistic science of humankind, studying biology, culture, language and prehistory together, so the Assertion holds.

The Reason says it focuses on only certain aspects of human beings. That is the opposite of holism, so it is false, and it cannot explain the Assertion. Codes that treat the Reason as true, or the Assertion as false, are therefore wrong.
