This question was previously asked in
CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Assertion (A) Analysis: Panipat Textile Recycling Hub

The statement asserts that Panipat is a major center for textile recycling, specifically involving the shredding and re-spinning of second-hand clothing into shoddy yarn. Panipat is widely recognized as a significant textile hub in India, known for its blanket manufacturing and recycling industries, which often utilize recycled fibers sourced from used garments.

Therefore, Assertion (A) is factually correct.

Reason (R) Analysis: Zero Waste Design

The statement mentions the practice of "zero waste design" by conscious designers aimed at minimizing fabric wastage during the creation process. Zero waste fashion design is a recognized and growing approach within the industry focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact by utilizing fabric efficiently.

Therefore, Reason (R) is also factually correct.

Relationship Between Assertion (A) and Reason (R)

Assertion (A) discusses a specific large-scale recycling activity in Panipat (processing used clothing). Reason (R) describes a design philosophy (zero waste design) adopted by some designers. While both relate to the textile industry and sustainability, the existence or practice of zero waste design does not explain why Panipat specifically functions as a hub for recycling second-hand clothing into shoddy yarn. These are independent concepts.

Conclusion

Both statements (A) and (R) are correct individually. However, Reason (R) does not provide a reason or explanation for Assertion (A).

The most appropriate answer is that both statements are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
