Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In strip cropping both close growing and row crops are planted in alternate strips in the same field.
Reason (R): In comparison to contour farming, strip cropping is a more effective method to control erosion.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

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

Hint:

To check if R is the correct explanation of A, read them together using the word ______"because"______:
"Crops are planted in alternate strips ______because______ strip cropping is more effective than contour farming."
This does not make logical sense, proving that while both facts are true, R is not the explanation of A.
