The Resurgence of Radio in the Digital Age

Assertion (A): Radio is making a comeback as people listen to radio more these days.

Reason (R): Only those who drive cars listen to radio.

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true.

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, 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 Ans: (C)

Explanation:

Radio has seen a resurgence in recent years, thanks to digital streaming, podcasts, and mobile accessibility. More people now listen to the radio, not just through traditional FM/AM but also via online platforms and smart devices. This comeback is driven by convenience, diverse content, and accessibility, making radio a relevant medium even in the digital age.

However, it is incorrect to say that only car drivers listen to the radio. While many commuters tune in while driving, radio has a much wider audience. People listen to it at home, at work, in cafes, and through mobile apps. The rise of digital radio and podcasts has expanded radioโ€™s reach beyond vehicle users.

Thus, Assertion (A) is true because radio is indeed gaining popularity again. However, Reason (R) is false because listenership is not limited to car drivers. Many people consume radio content through multiple devices and platforms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C).
