Question

Consider the following statements and select the correct answer by using the codes given below:
Assertion (A):
Assam is the largest producer of tea in India.
Reason (R):
Cheap tribal labour is available in abundance in Assam

Options:

A . Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B . A is true, but R is false.

C . Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

D . A is false, but R is true.

Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The state of Assam is the world’s largest tea-growing region, lying on either side of the Brahmaputra River, and bordering Bangladesh and Myanmar. This part of India experiences high precipitation; during the monsoon period, as much as 10 to 12 inches (250–300 mm) of rain per day.
The daytime temperature rises to about 96.8F (36 °C), creating greenhouse-like conditions of extreme humidity and heat. This tropical climate contributes to Assam’s unique malty taste, a feature for which this tea is well known.
