Dear Professionals,
Useful tips to crack the codes in Assertion and Reason.
From June 2015 onwards, the codes in Assertion and Reason pattern are changed, Only the 4 Codes
are set for the questions.
Earlier the codes include Partially true, Partially not true, Statement is false, Not correct explanation of (A), Correct Explanation etc.
But now the codes are only
Both (A) and (R) are true.
Both (A) and (R) are false.
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
(A) is false, but (R) is true.
Now how to crack the correct code for some question
Eg:- Q no 68 June 2016
Assertion (A) : Google search is considered as the biggest threat to contemporary libraries.
Reason (R) : Now-a-days, users taking help from Reference Librarian for factual queries has
considerably decreased
First read the reason part then make sure the statement is True or False i.e whether R is true or False
For the above question the statement (R) is true because user queries has considerably decreased taking help from the Reference Librarian
Ignore the option 2 and 3, the answer will be either 1 or 4, now read the statement (A) it is False so the answer is 4
1) Both (A) and (R) are True
2) Both (A) and (R) are false.
3) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4) (A) is false, but (R) is True
4 (A) is False, but (R) is True
Note: The Option Code Both (A) and (R) are false is very very less used only for 10 questions in (A) & (R) out of 313 question asked from June 2012 to June 2016 , because subject expert cannot make both the statement false, its easy to find when reading the statement
Hope U all will find the information useful
Thanks
