Two statements are given below. They are Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct option :
Assertion (A) : Both, Sri Lanka and Belgium faced challenges of ethnic and linguistic diversity.
Reason (R) : Sri Lanka had majority of Tamils whereas Belgium had majority of French speaking people.
✅ Answer & Solution
Step 1 - Examine (A) : Both Sri Lanka and Belgium did face challenges arising from ethnic and linguistic diversity. (A) is TRUE.
Step 2 - Examine (R) : This is FACTUALLY WRONG on both counts.
- In Sri Lanka the SINHALA speakers are the majority (74%), while Tamils form only about 18%.
- In Belgium the DUTCH speaking people are the majority (59%), while French speakers form about 40% of the country's population (though they are the majority in the capital Brussels).
Step 3 - Therefore (A) is true but (R) is false.
