Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R) :
Assertion (A) : Norms of a standard test provide means to assess the performance of an athlete.
Reason (R) : Values of norms of a standard test can not be changed by any one.
In the context of the above statements, which one of the following is true ?
Answer: B
Both statements are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). Norms of a standard test give the means to assess an athlete, because a score is read against the scores of the reference group, so (A) is true. The key also accepts (R) as true, since the norms of a given test are fixed by its makers and are not altered by users.
The fixed nature of the norms is not what makes them useful for assessment, so (R) does not explain (A). The other options either call (A) false or claim that (R) explains it. This item follows the official key.
