Reason (R) : Pure researches are conducted in laboratories whereas applied researches are conducted in field. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer: Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
The assertion claims that applied research is more important than pure research for human welfare, which is a subjective viewpoint. The reason provided, that pure research is conducted in laboratories while applied research is conducted in the field, is a factual statement but does not sufficiently explain why applied research is deemed more important for human welfare. In essence, while both assertions may be true independently, the reason fails to provide a compelling explanation for the assertion.
