Question : Assertion (A): In India, both the percentage of literate people and the total number of illiterates have increased.
Reason (R): In India, the rise in literacy rates is mostly attributable to the expansion of educational facilities, which has not kept pace with population growth, increasing the absolute number of illiterates.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is true.
Correct Answer:
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
