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

Assertion (A) Marketed Surplus Explained

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) Profitable Sales Analysis

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.

Conclusion on Statements Validity

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.
