Question

Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion and Reason. Assertion (A): Field Officers need to create awareness amongst manufacturers/packers/importers that agricultural farm produce should be packed in any quantity up to 50 kg. Reason (R): Packages of farm produce up to 100 kg are covered under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011.

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

Correct option is C


Assertion (A) is true: As per the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, agricultural farm produce must be packed in quantities up to 50 kg. Field Officers are responsible for ensuring that manufacturers/packers/importers follow this requirement and create awareness about the same.
Reason (R) is false: The rules do not cover farm produce packages up to 100 kg. Instead, the maximum limit prescribed is 50 kg. Any package above this weight is exempt from certain requirements of the Packaged Commodities Rules.
Hence, the assertion is correct, but the reason incorrectly mentions 100 kg instead of 50 kg.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option (c) – A is true but R is false.
