Solve 1 Potato research questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.
Practice questions
Q1Consider the following Assertion and Reason: Assertion: CIP Director General Dr. Simon Heck said the CSARC centre being set up in Agra will function as a major scientific platform for South Asia, especially India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. Reason: Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said there should be no duplication of work between ICAR and CIP.
Explanation
Both Assertion and Reason are factually correct as per the PIB release. The CSARC South Asia platform assurance and the Minister's no-duplication direction are separate points from the meeting; the Reason does not explain why CSARC will serve as that regional scientific platform. Hence option B.
