Q1Two statements are given below, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Dadabhai Naoroji founded the East India Association in London. Reason (R): He wanted to influence British public opinion. In the context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct?

A A is true but R is false

B R is true but A is false

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

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

Explanation

Dadabhai Naoroji did found the East India Association in London in 1866, so the assertion is true. Its purpose was to present Indian grievances and political demands before educated British circles and Parliament, which makes the reason true as well. The reason also explains why the association was founded in London rather than only in India. Therefore, the statements are not merely two separate true facts; the desire to influence British public opinion directly explains the founding of the East India Association.
