Question:

Read the following statements and mark the correct answer.

Assertion: Personal selling reaches limited people.
Reasoning: Personal selling is highly flexible as message can be adjusted.

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 and 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:

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

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Assertion: Personal selling reaches limited people. THIS IS TRUE
Reasoning: Personal selling is highly flexible as message can be adjusted. THIS IS TRUE

Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A. While both statements are correct individually, the flexibility of personal selling (R) does not explain why it reaches a limited number of people (A). The limited reach is due to the nature of personal selling being more focused and individualistic, not necessarily because it is flexible.
