Section (A): Ahmed encourages children to his classroom to think of analogies to promote effective problem solving.Reason (R): Children learn meaningfully when the teachers enable them to make connections with what they already know.Choose the correct option.

A.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
B.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C.
(A) is true but (R) is false
D.
Both (A) and (R) are false.

Solution:

Problem-solving is an important part of thinking processes. In general, a problem is any kind of conflict or difference between one situation and another that one wishes to produce, that which is the goal.An individual uses various kinds of methods or strategies to solve problems. Some strategies when used take a long time but definitely give an answer. On the other hand, there are some other strategies that take lesser time but do not always guarantee success.Ahmed encourages children to his classroom to think of analogies to promote effective problem-solving:An analogy is one of the strategies of problem-solving.In analogy, a solution to an earlier problem is used in order to help with an original problem.Children learn meaningfully when the teachers enable them to make connections with what they already know:In analogy, the current problem is solved on the basis of past experience of solving similar problems. This heuristic looks for similarities between a current problem and one solved in the past.For example, try to solve the anagram BODUT. By thinking of the words D, O, and U will simplify the problem information. The usefulness of the planning strategy depends on the extent to which the solution to the simple problem will be helpful when the complex problem is considered.Thus, it is concluded that both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
