Q1. Consider the following:\nAssertion (A): The Rajasthan government on 3 June 2026 approved 77 road projects worth Rupees 676.74 crore across more than 33 districts under the Rajasthan Budget 2026 27.\nReason (R): Quality road infrastructure is essential for attracting investment in the semiconductor and data centre clusters being promoted under the Rajasthan Industrial Development Policy 2026 but has no link with rural connectivity or road safety objectives.\nSelect the correct answer using the codes given below:
Explanation
Assertion A is correct as the Rajasthan PWD on 3 June 2026 sanctioned 77 road projects worth Rupees 676.74 crore under the Budget 2026 27. Reason R is also partly true since quality road infrastructure aids industrial investment under the new industrial policy. However the second half of R denying any link with rural connectivity or road safety is factually misleading the official approvals explicitly cite rural connectivity improvement and road safety as core objectives. Hence treating R as a true statement on the industrial dimension it does not by itself explain assertion A which covers wider rural and road safety goals making option B correct.
