Question

Assertion (A) : Chain procedure is a systematic and almost mechanical method of deriving subject headings.
Reason (R) : It does not always operate well only with a faceted scheme of classification.

The correct answer is
(A) is true, but (R) is false.

Analysis of Assertion and Reason

Assertion (A): Systematic and Mechanical Method

The assertion states that the chain procedure is a systematic and almost mechanical method for deriving subject headings. This is accurate. The chain procedure follows a structured, step-by-step process, typically derived from the hierarchical structure of a classification system (like UDC or CC). Its reliance on established classification notation makes it predictable and mechanical.

Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.

Reason (R): Operation with Faceted Classification

The reason claims that the chain procedure does not always operate well *only* with a faceted scheme of classification. Based on the provided correct answer, this statement is considered false.

This implies that the chain procedure is considered to operate well, or its limitations are not as stated, when applied in the context of faceted classification systems.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion (A) is true.
  • Reason (R) is false.

This corresponds to Option 1.
