Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).


Solution : The correct answer is (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Assertion states that excess demand does not lead to any increase in the level of output. This statement is generally correct. Excess demand refers to a situation where the demand for goods and services exceeds the economy's capacity to supply them. In the short term, if the economy is already operating at full capacity, the increase in demand cannot be met by an immediate increase in output. In this case, excess demand may result in price increases rather than an increase in output.

Reason states that excess demand gives rise to an inflationary gap. An inflationary gap occurs when the economy's actual output exceeds its potential output, leading to upward pressure on prices. While an inflationary gap can be a consequence of excess demand, it does not directly explain why excess demand does not lead to an increase in the level of output.

Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true. However, Reason (R) does not provide a complete and direct explanation of Assertion (A).
