Detailed Solution

Both assertion and corresponding reason are true. When Manchester industrialists began selling cloth in India, they put labels on the cloth bundles. The sole reason behind putting the label was two folded. The label acted as a mark of quality. The label ‘Made in Manchester’ was written in bold on the products and this label alone held the power to make the consumers feel confident in the quality of the cloth. Other than the quality check, the second purpose of the label was primarily to mark the name of the company which produced the goods and the place of the manufacturer. This attracted the buyers as they felt confident about purchasing such clothes.
