Read this question in English
“Rights are certain advantageous conditions of social well-being indispensable to the true development of the citizen.”
In the light of this statement, which one of the following is the correct understanding of rights?
(a) Rights aim at individual good only. · (b) Rights aim at social good only. · (c) Rights aim at both individual and social good. · (d) Rights aim at individual good devoid of social well-being.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (c) अधिकारों का उद्देश्य वैयक्तिक कल्याण और सामाजिक कल्याण दोनों है।
The definition joins two ideas: rights are conditions of social well-being, and they are indispensable to the true development of the individual citizen. So rights serve both the individual and society.
- ✗ (a) It drops 'social well-being', which the definition names as what rights are conditions of.
- ✗ (b) It drops 'the true development of the citizen', the individual purpose in the definition.
- ✓ (c) Social well-being (society) and the citizen's development (individual) both appear in the definition.
- ✗ (d) It contradicts the definition by cutting rights off from social well-being.
Remember · When a definition names two beneficiaries, reject 'only' options that keep just one of them.
