UPPCS · Question 12

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Akbar, like Sher Shah, tried to regulate the currency of the state. Reason (R): As in Sher Shah's currency, the chief copper coin of Akbar's time was the Dam. Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  3. (A) is true, but (R) is false
  4. (A) is false, but (R) is true
Show answer & explanation

Answer: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Explanation

Both are true but R does not explain A. Akbar, like Sher Shah, standardised the coinage (A). That the copper dam was the chief copper coin, as in Sher Shah's time, is a separate fact.
