Question

In this question, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the appropriate option:
Assertion (A): A person's behavior is never contrary to her/his attitude towards a particular topic.
Reason (R): There would be consistency between attitudes and behaviour when the attitude is strong.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

While answering assertion-reason questions, always pay attention to the accuracy of both the statements before connecting them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Assertion (A): This assertion is incorrect. It claims that behavior consistently reflects attitudes, which is untrue. Individuals frequently engage in actions that contradict their expressed attitudes.
Reason (R): This reason is accurate. A strong attitude is more likely to be consistent with a person's behavior. Therefore, the correspondence between behavior and attitude is frequently contingent on the intensity of the attitude.
