Question

Two statements are given below. They are Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct option.
Assertion (A): International trade is mutually beneficial to nations.
Reason (R): It helps in getting the needed items from other countries.

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

Hint:

International trade facilitates the exchange of goods and services that are not readily available locally, making it beneficial for all nations involved.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

International trade offers mutual advantages to nations by enabling them to acquire goods and services that they cannot produce efficiently. This advantage stems from trade agreements, facilitating the exchange of resources, technology, and knowledge between countries.
The stated reason accurately explains this benefit: international trade allows countries to procure necessary items from abroad. Consequently, the assertion and reason are logically connected, with the reason substantiating the assertion that international trade is mutually beneficial.
Therefore, option (A) is the correct choice, indicating that both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
