What is Assertion Reason Question for Class 6 Social Science?

An Assertion-Reason Question for Class 6 Social Science consists of two statements:

1. Assertion (A) – A factual or conceptual statement.
2. Reason (R) – A statement explaining the assertion.

Students must determine whether:

• Both statements are true and R correctly explains A.
• Both are true, but R does not explain A.
• A is true, but R is false.
• A is false, but R is true.
• Both are false.

These questions help in testing conceptual understanding and logical reasoning skills.

Best Ways to Prepare for Assertion Reason Questions

To excel in Assertion-Reason questions, students should first build a strong conceptual foundation in Social Science. Carefully reading the NCERT textbook and understanding key topics, rather than rote memorization, is essential. While studying, students should focus on the cause-and-effect relationships between historical events, geographical phenomena, and social concepts. Highlighting key points and making short notes can also help in quick revision.

Regular practice is crucial for mastering these questions. Students should solve previous years’ papers, attempt sample questions, and analyze both correct and incorrect answers to improve logical reasoning skills. They should also pay attention to the structure of these questions—determining whether both statements are true and if the reason correctly explains the assertion. Discussing complex topics with teachers or peers can further enhance understanding. Over time, with consistent effort and logical thinking, students can develop confidence in solving Assertion-Reason questions effectively.
