Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Skill is the ability to bring about some end result with maximum outlay of energy, time and effort.
Reason (R) : A skill should always have high degree of precision and accuracy. 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 accepted as correct in the key, but (R) does not explain (A).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

• The question gives an Assertion (A) defining skill and a Reason (R) about precision and accuracy.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

• As per the NTA final answer key, both (A) and (R) are accepted as correct.

• The definition of skill in (A) and the requirement of precision and accuracy in (R) are separate points, so (R) does not explain (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), as per the NTA final answer key.
