Assertion [A], Reason [R] Question Type : Assertion [A] : “Ascertaining Caste as part of the ongoing nation wide census exercise was nothing wrong” – Supreme Court. Reason [R] : Ascertaining caste to know how many people are in need of welfare and it is a matter of public policy.
[A] and [R] are correct; [R] is the correct explanation of [A]
The Supreme Court, while hearing a plea against the inclusion of caste enumeration in the ongoing national census, observed that there was nothing wrong in ascertaining caste as part of the census exercise.
The Court reasoned that collecting caste data helps the State know how many people need welfare support, and that deciding how to collect such data is a matter of public policy for the government.
Since the Reason gives exactly the ground on which the Court upheld caste enumeration, both statements are true and the Reason explains the Assertion.
Hence, [A] and [R] are correct; [R] is the correct explanation of [A].
