    Question

    Statement (A): In India, the level of urbanization is

    much lower than China. Reason (R): Indian cities are less planned. Choose the correct answer from the codes given below:
    A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (A) is true but (R) is false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (A) is false but (R) is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the data from the United Nations 'World Urbanization Prospects Report' 2018, the urbanization rate in China is 59.15%, while the urbanization rate in India is 34.03%. This shows that the level of urbanization in India is much lower than in China. However, while Indian cities are less planned, this is not the main reason for the lower urbanization level. The reason for the lower urbanization in India is multifaceted, involving factors such as population growth, migration, and economic development, rather than city planning alone. Hence, both statements (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).
