Assertion (A) : In Central Place Theory, 'hexagonal region' is considered as the optimum for functional linkages.

Reason (R) : Transport connectively is important for maintaining inter-settlement linkages.
Codes :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct interpretation of (A).
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct interpretation of (A).
  • C.(A) is true and (R) is false.
  • D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer: B

Both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct interpretation of the assertion, as in the key. A hexagonal region is the best shape in central place theory because it leaves no gaps or overlaps and is closest to a circle, which gives the least distance to travel.

Transport connectivity matters for linkages between settlements but does not explain the choice of the hexagon, which is a geometric one, so the reason is not the explanation.
