ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
CA is true, but R is false
DA is false, but R is true
Correct answer: (B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A — Both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
Explanation
★Both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
★The Avesta is indeed the sacred scripture of the Parsis, the followers of Zoroastrianism.
★Madam Bhikaji Cama was a great patriot who also worked for the Parsi community.
★She is famous for unfurling an early version of the Indian flag at Stuttgart in 1907.
★But the fact about the Avesta and her work for Parsi reform are two separate matters.
★So the reason, though true, does not explain why the Avesta is the sacred book of the Parsis.
