Q227. Consider the following two statements, labeled Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Evaluate them and choose the appropriate answer from the given options.
Assertion (A): India’s participation in the Asian Winter Games 2025 will be unique, as it will be the first time the government has provided full financial support.
Reason (R): The government’s objective is to enhance India’s presence and performance in winter sports by ensuring fair and meritocratic athlete selection.

(a) A is false, but R is true.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(d) A is true, but R is false.

Answer & solution

Answer: (c) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both the Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). India’s participation in the Asian Winter Games 2025 is indeed significant because the government has decided to provide full financial assistance to athletes for the first time. This ensures that financial constraints do not stop talented athletes from competing. Moreover, the government’s focus on merit-based and transparent athlete selection directly supports this step, as it enhances India’s representation in winter sports, where historically the country has had limited participation. Thus, the Reason explains the Assertion correctly, making option (3) the right answer.
