Assertion (A) : Marketed surplus can be more than marketable surplus.
Reason (R) : The situation arises when the farmers have profitable sale for their commodity.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Assertion (A) states that marketed surplus can be greater than marketable surplus.
For the purpose of this question, we accept this premise. Marketable surplus represents the maximum quantity potentially available for sale after meeting all farm consumption and usage needs. Marketed surplus is the quantity actually sold in the market. Assertion (A) posits that actual sales might exceed this initially calculated potential surplus.
Reason (R) suggests that the situation described in (A) arises specifically because farmers anticipate or experience profitable sales for their commodity.
This reason is considered incorrect. While attractive prices motivate farmers to sell their available marketable surplus, it does not logically explain how they could sell *more* than the quantity determined as marketable surplus. Profitable sales explain maximizing the sale of the existing marketable surplus, not exceeding it by drawing from resources initially intended for other uses.
Based on the provided context and the nature of the statements, Assertion (A) is deemed correct, while Reason (R) is deemed incorrect as it does not logically support or explain Assertion (A).
Therefore, the most appropriate choice is that (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
