UPPCS · Question 86

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Sugarcane and sugar production in U.P. is more than Maharashtra, but productivity is less. Reason (R): Most of the sugar factories in Maharashtra are in the cooperative sector. 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. UP's lower sugarcane productivity (yield and recovery) is due to agro-climatic factors, varieties and irrigation, not the co-operative structure of Maharashtra's mills.
