Discussion
Given below are two statements one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R) :
Assertion (A) : Fitness is that state which characterised the degree to which sportsman functions at optimum.
Reason (R) : Fitness is an individual matter implies the ability to live most effectively with potential.
In context with two sentences find the correct answer from the following :
Answer: B
The key's answer is that both statements are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(A) describes fitness as the state in which the sportsman functions at his optimum; (R) says fitness is individual and is the ability to live most effectively with one's own potential. Each is a loose but accepted way of describing fitness.
(R) does not give a reason for what (A) says: it adds a second description, that fitness is relative to the individual, and (A) does not follow from it. So the pair is two true statements about the same idea, not a cause and its effect. Whether (R) shades into an explanation is a matter of judgment, which is why this rests on the key.
