Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Pattern :
Assertion (A) : A Zilla Parishad shall have a Chief Executive Officer appointed by the State Government in Maharashtra.
Reason (R) : In Maharashtra if a Zilla Parishad informs the Chief Executive Officer by a 2/3 majority, the State Government is bound to do so.
Codes :
Answer: C
(A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the reason of (A).
(A) is true: the Maharashtra Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis Act, 1961 provides a Chief Executive Officer and deputies for every Zilla Parishad, appointed by the State Government. (R) is printed in garbled form; it appears to describe the Act's provision that when a special meeting of the Zilla Parishad passes a resolution by not less than two-thirds of the councillors asking for the officer to be withdrawn, the State Government must withdraw him. Read so, (R) is true.
The two statements are separate provisions: how the CEO is appointed does not follow from the Parishad's power to ask for his withdrawal. So (R) does not explain (A). The key rests on this reading of the garbled wording.
