Assertion–Reason (Evaluate Truth and Explanation):\nAssertion (A): Everyone enjoys being part of India’s festivals.\nReason (R): India’s festivals are colorful.

Difficulty: Easy

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

Correct Answer: (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
Statements about culture must avoid universal quantifiers (“everyone”). We test each statement independently and then the explanatory link.

Given Data / Assumptions:

(A) Universal claim about enjoyment by “everyone.”
(R) Festivals in India are colorful—widely recognized as true.

Concept / Approach:
Universal claims are invalidated by counterexamples.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) (A) is false: enjoyment is subjective; some may not enjoy crowds/rituals/noise.2) (R) is true in general descriptive sense.3) A false cannot be explained by a true (and irrelevant) reason.

Verification / Alternative check:
Examples exist of individuals opting out, proving (A) false.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(a)/(b) require (A) true; (c) claims (R) false; (e) denies (R).

Common Pitfalls:
Treating cultural descriptors as universal obligations.

Final Answer:
Option D: (A) false, (R) true.
