Explanation
★The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is A is true but R is false.
★The art of painting did reach its highest watermark in the reign of Jahangir.
★Jahangir was himself a keen connoisseur and even claimed he could name the painter of any work.
★But it is false that he was not interested in other forms of art.
★He took deep interest in nature, gardens, architecture and the study of plants and animals.
★So the reason is wrong, since Jahangir was a wide-ranging patron of the arts.
