Assertion and Reason on Money and Society

CMAT 2022 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Assertion and Reason

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

Assertion (A): Money can resolve most of our problems. Reason (R): We are living in a hierarchical society.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A.

    Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

  2. B.

    Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

  3. C.

    (A) is correct but (R) is not correct

  4. D.

    (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Answer

B

Explanation

Assertion (A) is generally accepted as true since financial resources solve many practical societal problems. Reason (R) is also a true factual statement about human societies. However, living in a hierarchical society is not the causal reason why money resolves problems. Thus, (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
