Instructions: Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) carefully. Choose the correct option: Assertion (A): India launched the South Asian Satellite (SAS) in 2017 for use by SAARC nations. Reason (R): The SAS was launched from the Sriharikota spaceport, and its terminals were installed in all SAARC countries.
A is true, but R is false.
Assertion: ISRO launched the South Asian Satellite (GSAT-9) on 5 May 2017 aboard GSLV-F09 as India's gift for use by its SAARC neighbours. The assertion is true.
Reason: the launch did take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, but Pakistan opted out of the project, so ground terminals were not installed in all SAARC countries. The reason is therefore false.
Since the assertion is correct and the reason is not, the pair cannot be linked as cause and explanation.
Hence, A is true, but R is false.
