Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Audio-visual aids can only supplement the teacher but can never supplant him/her.
Reason (R): Since audio-visual aids play an important role in the process of Teaching-Learning, hence these may substitute and/or replace the Teacher in the Classroom. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct; but (R) is not related to (A).
• B. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
• C. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
• D. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Hint:

Audio-visual aids boost teaching but can’t replace the teacher’s role in guiding and inspiring learners.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Assertion (A): audio-visual aids support but never replace the teacher, accepted educational principle, true.
Step 2: Reason (R): claims aids may substitute or replace the teacher.
Step 3: Notice (R) directly contradicts (A) instead of explaining it, so (R) is false.
Step 4: (A) true, (R) false, so the correct option is (2).
