Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: Both A and R is true but R is not a correct explanation of A.
Assertion (A): In the beginning, only high caste Kshatriya communities adopted Jainism.
Reason (R): Vardhaman Mahavira belonged to a well-known Kshatriya community.
Both A and R are true. Vardhaman Mahavira, the founder of Jainism, was born into a Kshatriya family. However, R is not a correct explanation of A. The reason why only high caste Kshatriya communities adopted Jainism in the beginning is because Jainism was a religion that emphasized non-violence and asceticism. These values were more compatible with the lifestyle of the Kshatriyas, who were warriors and rulers, than with the lifestyle of the lower castes.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- Option A: Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A. This option is incorrect because R is not a correct explanation of A.
- Option B: Both A and R is true but R is not a correct explanation of A. This option is correct.
- Option C: A is true but R is false. This option is incorrect because R is true.
- Option D: A is false but R is true. This option is incorrect because A is true.
