Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option 4 : Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.
Assertion: When the raw data is classified with reference to geographical locations, it is known as a Chronological Classification. This is incorrect. When the raw data is classified with reference to geographical locations, it is known as a Spatial Classification.
Reasoning: The characteristics that cannot be expressed quantitatively are called Qualities or Attributes. This is correct. For example, nationality, literacy, religion, gender, marital status, etc. They cannot be measured. Yet these attributes can be classified on the basis of either the presence or the absence of a qualitative characteristic. Such a classification of data on attributes is called a Qualitative Classification.
