DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (C) A is correct but R is not correct
Explanation
India is one of the world's fastest growing economies, yet the claim about education spending in the reason is wrong.
The assertion is correct that India is among the fastest growing economies of the world.
The reason is wrong because India's education spending has stayed near three percent of GDP, not six percent since 2014.
The six percent figure remains a long-standing target rather than achieved spending.
The reason thus cannot correctly explain the growth described.
The six percent goal was first urged by the Kothari Commission.
