Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The governments of Less Developed Countries (LDCs) must inevitably assume an active responsibility for the future well-being of their countries. Reason (R): Such governments are not preoccupied with problems of debts and deficits as well as poverty, population explosion, unemployment, etc. In the 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:

Remember: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{LDC Governments} &\rightarrow \text{Active role in development}, \text{Major Challenges} &\rightarrow \text{Poverty, Debt, Deficit, Unemployment, Population Growth}. \end{aligned} } \] If the reason contradicts well-known economic realities, then it is incorrect even if the assertion is true.
