Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Competition offers avenues for building up a high level of health, fitness, recreation, skill and performance.
Reason (R) : Athletes evaluate their strength and weakness in skill, ability, strategy etc. through competition. In the 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:

Both statements are true, but (R) describes evaluation of ability rather than explaining the benefits in (A).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

• The question gives an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R) about competition in sports.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is correct: competition offers avenues for building health, fitness, recreation, skill and performance.

• Reason (R) is correct: athletes evaluate their strength and weakness through competition.

• However, evaluation of strengths and weaknesses does not by itself explain why competition builds health and fitness, so (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct option is (B) Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
