Practice questions

Q1Consider the following statement: Assertion (A): In 2026, Indian students recorded the country's best-ever performance across the international Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics Olympiads. Reason (R): The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) is a national centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), an aided institution of the Department of Atomic Energy. 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 statements are factually correct: India delivered its best-ever Olympiad showing in 2026, and HBCSE is indeed a national centre of TIFR, a DAE-aided institution. However, R merely describes HBCSE's organisational affiliation and does not by itself explain the best-ever results, which flowed from decades of talent identification, mentoring and advanced training. Therefore R is not the correct explanation of A.
