Concept:Conventional Social Science teaching is often detached from students' daily lives. NCF 2005 aims to make it more inquiry-based and child-centered.
Explanation:Assertion (A) points out a real flaw in old-style teaching. It focused on facts and distant events. It did not connect to the child's own experiences.
Reason (R) states a positive feature of textbooks based on NCF 2005. They turn dry facts into processes of social inquiry. This is a strength of the new framework.
Both statements are factually correct. However, they talk about different things. (A) criticises the old method. (R) praises the new method. (R) does not explain why the old method ignored lived experiences. It only describes a separate improvement.
For (R) to be the correct explanation of (A), it must directly show the cause or justification. Here, there is no cause-effect link between the two.
Answer:Option B: Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
