प्रश्न
Assertion (A): Children from disadvantaged homes, when adopted into families with higher socio-economic status, exhibit a large increase in their intelligence scores.
Reason (R): Environmental deprivation lowers intelligence while rich nutrition, good family background and quality of schooling increases intelligence.
पर्याय
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
उत्तर
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
Both hereditary and environmental variables affect intelligence. Studies suggest that poor children's IQ scores rise significantly in enriched surroundings (better socio-economic situations, quality education, and decent nutrition). Environmental disadvantage (undereducation, poor nutrition, and ill families) can harm cognitive development. Thus, the Reason (R) accurately explains the Assertion (A) by emphasizing the importance of a stimulating and supportive environment for intelligence.

Read the case given below and answer the question by choosing the most appropriate option:
This is a story of three students Ruby, Radhika and Shankar who were enrolled in an Undergraduate Psychology Program in a University. Ruby was the admission officer’s dream. She was selected for the program as she had perfect entrance test scores, outstanding grades and excellent letters of recommendation. But when it was time for Ruby to start coming up with ideas of her own, she disappointed her professors.
On the other hand, Radhika did not meet the admission officer’s expectations. She had good grades but low entrance exam scores. However, her letters of recommendation described her as a creative young woman. She could design and implement research work with minimal guidance at college.
Shankar ranked somewhere in between the two students. He was satisfactory on almost every traditional measure of success. But rather than falling somewhere in the middle of his class at college, Shankar proved to be an outstanding student. His strength lay in the ability to not only adapt well to the demands of his new environment but also to modify the environment to suit his needs.
Out of the three students mentioned in the story, who are/is more likely to be a successful entrepreneur?
