Examine the following statements concerning the performance of the winning team in the Khelo India Youth Games Girls' Table Tennis Doubles Finals:
Assertion (A): The doubles pair of Kavya Bhatt and Divyanshi Bhowmick were dominant, conceding only one game throughout the entire girls' doubles tournament.
Reason (R): They defeated their opponents, Subhankrita Datta and Avisika Karmakar, with a straight-set score of 3-0 in the tournament's final match.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
-
Assertion (A) is True. Kavya Bhatt and Divyanshi Bhowmick did indeed lose only one game across the entire tournament.
-
Reason (R) is True. They won the final match with a 3-0 sweep against their opponents.
-
Explanation: The Reason (R) provides a fact about the final match, but it does not explain the Assertion (A). The 3-0 score in the final (R) means they lost zero games in the final, but it doesn't explain why they only lost one game in the preceding rounds (A). The low game loss (A) is due to their overall dominant play across the entire tournament, not just the final result (R).
