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): All even numbers are divisible by two.

  • An even number is fundamentally defined based on its relationship with the number two.
  • By definition, any integer that can be divided by two without leaving a remainder is considered an even number.
  • Therefore, the statement "All even numbers are divisible by two" is factually correct based on the established mathematical definition.

Analyzing Reason (R): An even number is defined as a number divisible by two.

  • This statement directly provides the standard mathematical definition of an even number.
  • This definition is universally accepted in mathematics.
  • Hence, Reason (R) is also a correct statement.

Relationship Between Assertion and Reason

  • Assertion (A) states a property of even numbers.
  • Reason (R) provides the definition that underpins this property.
  • The fact that even numbers are defined as being divisible by two (R) is precisely why all even numbers possess this characteristic (A).
  • Thus, Reason (R) serves as the direct and correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Conclusion

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct statements, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
