Q. Consider the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) statements:

1. Assertion (A) : In context of development, things like equal treatment, freedom, security, and respect of others are more important than income or more consumption
2. Reason (R) : Material goods are not all that one needs to live.

Which of the above is / are correct?
Answer: Both A and R are individually correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Notes: Both A and R are individually correct and R is the correct explanation of A. Besides seeking more income, one- way or the other, people also seek things like equal treatment, freedom, security, and respect of others. They resent discrimination. All these are important goals. In fact, in some cases, these may be more important than more income or more consumption because material goods are not all that you need to live.
