Model Answer
(C) A is false and R correctly explains why A is false.
Assertion (A) is false — the textbook clearly states the impact of globalisation has not been uniform across all sections. Reason (R) is true and correctly explains this inequality.
Source: Chapter 4 — Impact of Globalisation in India

Explanation
- The passage directly says: "Among producers and workers, the impact of globalisation has not been uniform" — this makes Assertion (A) false.
- R is factually correct: MNCs invested in industries like automobiles, electronics, and fast food targeting well-off urban consumers, while small producers face competition and workers face job insecurity due to flexible labour laws.
- Since A is false and R is true and explains why A is false (i.e., benefits were unequal because MNCs focused on well-off consumers), option (C) is correct.
- Do not choose (A) — R cannot be the "correct explanation of A" when A itself is a false statement.
