Reason (R) : Juveniles migrate from the rural areas to industrial and urban centres for employment.
Code :

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

Analysis of Assertion (A)

Assertion (A) states that slums are breeding grounds for juvenile delinquency in urban and industrial centers. This is generally considered true. Slums often exhibit characteristics like overcrowding, poverty, lack of access to education and resources, unemployment, and social disorganization. These conditions can create an environment where juveniles are more vulnerable to engaging in delinquent behaviors due to lack of opportunities and inadequate social controls.

Analysis of Reason (R)

Reason (R) states that juveniles migrate from rural areas to industrial and urban centers for employment. While migration from rural to urban areas does occur, and juveniles might be part of this migration, the assertion that this migration is *solely* or *primarily* for employment by juveniles is presented as false in the context of this question's provided answer. Migration is a complex phenomenon driven by various factors, including family relocation, seeking better education, or escaping rural hardships. Attributing it solely to juveniles migrating for jobs is an oversimplification and not universally accurate.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion (A) is true, as slum conditions are widely recognized as contributing factors to juvenile delinquency.
  • Reason (R) is considered false, as the premise of juveniles migrating solely for employment is an inaccurate generalization.

Therefore, the correct option is that (A) is true, but (R) is false.
