Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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.
