Q. Consider the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) statements:
  1. Assertion (A) : Different persons can have different developmental goals.
  2. Reason (R) : The notion of 'development' for one can be destructive for other.
Which of the above is / are correct?

Answer: A and R both are individually correct and R is Not the correct explanation of A
Notes: Both A and R are individually correct but R is not the correct explanation of A. The notion of development varies with individuals. Each one of them seeks different things. They seek things that are most important for them, i.e., that which can fulfil their aspirations or desires. In fact, at times, two persons or groups of persons may seek things. Thus, different persons can have different developmental goals and two, what may be development for one may not be development for the other. It may even be destructive for the other.
