Assertion (A): Planning should be the first step for organizing a tournament.
Reason (R): A tournament can be conducted without planning.
In context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct?

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true

Hint:

Proper planning is key to organizing a successful tournament, and attempting to do so without it is not advisable.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Assertion (A) is true because proper planning is essential for organizing a successful tournament. However, Reason (R) is false because conducting a tournament without proper planning would likely lead to poor execution. Step 1: Analyzing the statements.

• (A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A): Incorrect. While (A) is true, (R) is false, so it cannot explain (A).
• (B) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A): Incorrect. While (A) is true, (R) is false.
• (C) (A) is true but (R) is false: Correct. Planning is essential for organizing a tournament, and (R) is incorrect because it suggests a tournament can be organized without planning.
• (D) (A) is false but (R) is true: Incorrect. (A) is true, and (R) is false.

Step 2: Conclusion.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C), as (A) is true and (R) is false. Final Answer:} (A) is true but (R) is false.
