Practice questions

Q1Assertion (A): The National Departmental Summit on Water held under the Ministry of Jal Shakti was the first in a series of departmental summits aimed at strengthening the Team India spirit and cooperative federalism. Reason (R): Union Jal Shakti Minister C. R. Patil highlighted four key outcomes, including faster completion of water infrastructure projects and institutionalising effective operation and maintenance of drinking-water schemes in villages. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

Explanation

Both A and R are true as per the PIB release: the summit was the first departmental summit in the series linked to Team India and cooperative federalism, and Minister C. R. Patil did list those four outcomes. However, the four outcomes summarise the conference results; they do not explain why the summit is described as the first in the departmental series. Hence R is not the correct explanation of A.
