Following are the statements of Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer them with the help of the following code:
Assertion (A): Karl Popper argued that conjuncture and falsification are involved in science.
Reason (R): Popper takes falsifiability as solution of demarcation problem and problem of induction.

Correct option is A

Both statements are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Popper's emphasis on conjecture and falsification directly stems from his solution to the demarcation problem (distinguishing science from non-science) and the problem of induction through the principle of falsifiability.

Information Booster:
• Karl Popper revolutionized philosophy of science by proposing falsificationism as the criterion for scientific theories
• The demarcation problem asks: "What distinguishes science from pseudoscience?" Popper answered: falsifiability
• Popper rejected verification and induction, arguing that scientific theories can never be proven true, only falsified
• According to Popper, science progresses through bold conjectures (hypotheses) followed by rigorous attempts at falsification
• A theory is scientific only if it makes predictions that could potentially be proven false through empirical testing
• Popper's approach addresses the problem of induction (that we cannot justify generalizing from specific observations) by focusing on deduction and falsification instead
