BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true, but R is false ✓ Correct
DA is false, but R is true
Correct answer: (C) A is true, but R is false — The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is A is true but R is false.
Explanation
★The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is A is true but R is false.
★Firuz Shah Tughluq is remembered for canals, towns and welfare rather than military glory.
★His campaigns in Bengal and the Deccan brought no lasting conquests, so his reign was militarily weak.
★However, he did in fact subdue the ruler of Nagarkot during his campaign in the hills.
★He even visited the Jwalamukhi temple at Nagarkot and had Sanskrit works translated.
★So the reason is false because Nagarkot was indeed brought under his authority.
