CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Evaluating Assertion (A)

Assertion (A) states that December is the peak month for foreign tourist arrivals in India. This is generally considered correct. The period from October to March, encompassing winter, is the most popular time for international tourists to visit India due to pleasant weather conditions across most regions.

Evaluating Reason (R)

Reason (R) posits that Indian tourism patterns are influenced by vacations and weather-related seasonality. This statement is also correct. Major holidays and school breaks (vacations) often correlate with travel surges. Furthermore, India experiences distinct seasons, with cooler winter months being highly favorable for tourism compared to the hot summers or monsoon periods.

Relationship Between Assertion (A) and Reason (R)

Reason (R) provides a valid explanation for Assertion (A). The favorable weather during December, coupled with potential holiday travel coinciding with vacation periods, directly contributes to making it a peak month for foreign tourist arrivals in India.

Conclusion

Since both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) accurately explains why Assertion (A) is true, the most appropriate answer is that both statements are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Therefore, the correct option is: Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
