Reason (R): He introduced a new education system called Basic Education, which focused on skill acquisition.

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  
• B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  
• C. A is true, but R is false
  
• D. A is false, but R is true
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A


Gandhi was against the prevalent education system, as he believed that it did not lead to the development of the mind, body and soul. He introduced a new education system called Basic Education, in which children were taught different forms of art and other skills which helped them earn while learning. So, both statements are true, but they are logically inversed.
