Question:

There are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the options given below.

Assertion: India, in 1991 followed the Chinese model of implementation of reforms, where each reform measure was first implemented at a smaller level and then extended on a massive scale.
Reasoning: The experimentation under decentralised government in China enabled to assess the economic, social and political costs of success or failure.

Options:

Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Correct Answer:

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4: Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Assertion: India in 1991 followed the Chinese model of implementation of reforms, where each reform measure was first implemented at a smaller level and then extended on a massive scale. This is false. India's 1991 economic reforms were implemented on a large scale and were driven by an immediate economic crisis, unlike China's more gradual, experimental approach to reforms. India did not follow the Chinese model of first implementing reforms at a smaller scale.
Reasoning: The experimentation under decentralised government in China enabled to assess the economic, social and political costs of success or failure. This is true.
