Multiple choice

Directions: The following questions consist of two statements, one labelled the 'Assertion A' and the other labelled 'Reason R'. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are individually true and if so, whether the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. Select your answers of these items from the codes given below and mark your answer sheets accordingly.

Assertion (A): It is not always easy to separate means from ends while making decisions. Reason (R): An apparent end may be only a means for some future end.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

  2. Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A

  3. A is true but R is false

  4. A is false but R is true

A Correct answer
Explanation

It is difficult to separate means from ends because an end goal often becomes a means to achieve a higher-level goal. Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion.
