Q1. Read the Assertion and Reason based on the Hindi sentence "मुझे यह किताब पढ़े हुए दो साल हो गए हैं।" Assertion (A): The correct translation is: "It has been two years since I read this book." Reason (R): In such sentences, "हुए" marks time elapsed since a completed action, so English commonly uses "It has been + time + since + simple past tense."
A A is false, but R is true.
B A is true, but R 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. Correct
Explanation
सही उत्तर D है। "पढ़े हुए" से पढ़ने की पूरी हो चुकी क्रिया के बाद बीता हुआ समय व्यक्त होता है। ऐसे वाक्यों में अंग्रेज़ी में संरचना "It has been + time + since + simple past" ली जाती है, इसलिए "It has been two years since I read this book" सही अनुवाद है और कारण उसी को समझाता है।
