    Assertion (A) The white rulers treated all non-whites as inferiors.
    Reason (R) The white rulers divided the people and labeled them on the basis of their skin colour.
     

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

    B) Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true, but R is false

    D) A is false, but R is true

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] A large number of whites had settled in South Africa and had become the local rulers. They imposed the system of Apartheid which divided the people and labelled them on the basis of their skin colour. All the non-whites in South Africa were treated as inferiors by the white rulers. They did not have voting rights, they were forbidden from living in white areas. Thus, both statement are true and ‘R’ is the correct explanation of ‘A’.
