Ans : (b) Both assertion and reason are true but
reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Assertion : Sex-selective abortion led to decline of sex
ratio in India.
Reason : Desire of for a male child makes Indian
families abort girl.
Ans : (a) Both assertion and reason are true and
reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Sex-selective abortion led to decline of sex ratio in
India. Indian parents want to have son and want ways
to abort girl child. However, sex-selective abortion is
immoral and legally banned in India. The reason thus
explains the assertion.
Assertion : Universal Adult Franchise gives right to
vote to everyone.

upper caste and class for taking wise decision.

whole essence of a democracy, equal representation.

Chap 3.5 : Gender, Religion and Caste www.cbse.online
Class cannot determine wisdom.
Assertion : Stereotypical gender roles for males and
females helps in avoiding conflicts.
Reason : India is a matriarchal society.
Ans : (d) Both assertion and reason are false.
Stereotypical|gender roles where females are expected
to do household work and males are expected to earn
living is unjustifiable. The female should also get
equal rights as the male. Also, India is a patriarchial
society, Men are in authority over women in different
aspects of society.
Assertion : Equal Remuneration Act, 1976, provides
that equal wages should be paid for equal work,
irrespective of gender and caste.
Reason : Women are physically weak so they are
righteously paid less than men.
Ans : (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Equal Remuneration Act, 1976, provides that equal
wages should be paid for equal work. However, women
are considered to be inferior to men and that is why,
they are paid less. However, this belief is not correct
and should not be justified. Thus, unequal payment
should not be advocated. This belief is unjustifiable
as both are equal.
Assertion : Communal ism is based on the idea that
religion is the principal basis of social community.
Reason : Caste should be kept away from politics.
Ans : (b) Both assertion and reason are true but
reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Communalism is based on the idea that religion is the
principal basis of social community. It considers that
people of different religion can’t be equal citizen and
one should dominate the other. Caste creates social
conflicts and should be kept away from politics as it
leads to violence. The reason, however true, does not
explain the assertion.
Assertion : Women face discrimination and
disadvantage in India in many ways.
Reason : India is a patriarchal society.
Ans : (a) Both assertion and reason are true and
reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
India is a patriarchal society where men are considered
superior to women. Hence, women face discrimination
and disadvantage in India in many ways. Yet, it is not
justifiable. The reason explains the assertion.
Assertion : A casteist is a person who thinks that
caste is the principal basis of community. Reason : All
castes are equal and man-made.
Ans : (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
A castiest is a person who thinks that caste is the
principal basis of community. However, such a belief
is faulty as everyone is equal and no caste is superior
to other. Thus, both reason & assertion are true but
the reason does not explain the assertion.
Assertion : India is a secular state.
Reason : Constitution gives freedom to everyone to
profess, practice and propagate any religion without
prejudices or any discrimination.
Ans : (a) Both assertion and reason are true and
reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
India is a secular state. The Constitution gives freedom
to everyone to profess, practice and propagate any
religion. There is no official religion of India. The
reason explains the assertion.
Assertion : Sometimes a caste group becomes vote
bank for a party.
Reason : Selecting the candidate from same caste
helps in ensuring better governance.
Ans : (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Sometimes a caste group becomes vote bank for a party
as people select the candidate belonging to their own
caste. This helps in representing and communicating
their personal interests on a wider front. However, it
is wrong to select a candidate on the basis of caste
instead of personal abilities. Thus the assertion is
true,-the reason is false.
Assertion : Men and women should be given equal
rights.
Reason : Men are superior to women physically and
emotionally.
Ans : (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Men and women should be given equal rights as both
are equal is every respect. Thus the reason is false.
