Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : A person is seeing or hearing something that is actually not there at all.

Reason (R) : An illusion is a perception that does not correspond to reality.

In the light of the above statements, choose the answer from the options given below :

The correct answer is

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Both statements are independently true: (A) accurately describes a person perceiving something that is not present at all, and (R) correctly defines an illusion as a perception that does not correspond to reality. However, (R) is not the correct explanation for (A) — the experience in (A), where no external stimulus is present at all, is more precisely a hallucination, whereas an illusion (as defined in (R)) involves a distorted perception of a stimulus that does actually exist. So (R)'s definition does not account for the specific phenomenon described in (A).
