In the given question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct answer.

Assertion: Development’ has different meanings for different sections of the people.

Reason: Thus any discussion on development is bound to generate harmony and peace among the people belonging to different sections of society.

The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

For ‘Development’ has different meanings for different sections of people. Development would mean different
things for example, to an industrialist who is planning to set up a steel plant, to an urban consumer of steel and to the Adivasi who lives in that region. Thus any discussion on development is bound to generate contradictions, conflicts and debates.
