Reason (R) : In ex-post-facto research. inferences about relations among variables are made. without direct intervention. from concomitant variation of independent and dependent variables.
Now select your answer according to the coding scheme given below :
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- (A) is true, but (R) is false
- (A) is false, but (R) is true
