Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Lens is a medium by which we can see any object in smaller or in bigger size.
Reason (R): The Alienation concept is given by Brecht.
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:

Always ask: "Does the second sentence explain WHY the first sentence is true?" If the answer is no, look for Option 2.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: This question tests the ability to distinguish between two factually correct statements that share no logical connection.

Step 1: Evaluating Statement A (Science/Optics).
The assertion is a factually correct statement about optics. A lens (like those in cameras or projectors used in theatre) can indeed magnify or reduce the visual size of an object.

Step 2: Evaluating Statement R (Theatre Theory).
The reason is also a factually correct statement. Bertolt Brecht did indeed propound the concept of the Alienation Effect (Verfremdungseffekt).

Step 3: Checking for a logical link.
While both statements are true, the fact that Brecht created the Alienation concept has absolutely nothing to do with how a physical glass lens functions. Therefore, (R) is not the explanation of (A).
