Given below are two statements, one is labelled asAssertion (A) :and the other as Reason (R):Assertion (A):The British Government introduced different land revenue system in different part of India.Reason (R):It led to create different classes in Indian peasantry.Select the correct answer from the codes given below.

1. A

   Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

   (a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). The Company did implant zamindari, ryotwari and mahalwari in different provinces. That regional mix produced zamindars, occupancy ryots, tenants-at-will and other peasant classes. The paper treats (R) as the explanation of why those systems matter—and of the assertion’s outcome. Official key.

2. B

   Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

   (b) Both true but (R) does not explain (A). Both limbs are true; on this key the differentiated peasantry is the explanatory consequence of the different revenue experiments, so (R) is taken to explain (A).

3. C

   (A) is true but (R) is false

   (c) (A) true, (R) false. (R) is not false: Permanent Settlement, ryotwari and mahalwari did stratify the agrarian classes.

4. D

   (A) is false but (R) is true

   (d) (A) false, (R) true. The assertion is true; Bengal, Madras–Bombay and the North-Western Provinces did not share one revenue code.

Summary. Official key is (a). Assertion and Reason are both true, and the Commission links different land-revenue systems to the making of different peasant classes. Permanent Settlement (1793) created zamindars; Munro–Read ryotwari a peasant-proprietor type; mahalwari a village-body type. (b) severs that link; (c) and (d) deny a true limb.
