Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Farmers experience lack of scientific knowledge and skill for realizing higher productivity.
Reason (R): It is the responsibility of the extension professionals to continuously upgrade farmers' knowledge and skills in order to earn more income.
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 test assertion-reason relationships, insert "because" between them:
"Farmers lack scientific knowledge because extension workers are responsible for training them."
This statement does not make logical sense, confirming that (R) is not the explanation for (A).
