Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). \[ \text{Assertion (A): Jyothi Bhatt is originally a painter. He did several paintings.} \] \[ \text{Reason (R): Jyothi Bhatt is originally a Print Maker. He developed printmaking as a profession.} \] 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:

Jyoti Bhatt is important for both painting and printmaking, but in this assertion-reason pair the “originally a printmaker” statement makes the reason incorrect.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Jyoti Bhatt is an important modern Indian artist. He is known for painting, printmaking and photography.

Step 1: Check Assertion (A).
Jyoti Bhatt began as a painter and also made several paintings. So, Assertion (A) is correct.

Step 2: Check Reason (R).
The Reason says that he was originally a printmaker. This is not correct in the given context because his original training and identity began with painting, though he later became very important in printmaking.

Step 3: Check relationship.
Since Reason is not correct, it cannot explain Assertion.

Step 4: Final conclusion.
Assertion is correct, but Reason is not correct. Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
