Assertion (A): The defeat of Bhoja I of the Paramara dynasty of Malwa by Karna of the Kalachuri dynasty of Tripuri was followed by the latter abdicating his throne.
Reason (R): Bhoja I and Karna were eternal enemies of each other.
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.
★Karna of the Kalachuris did defeat Bhoja I of the Paramaras of Malwa.
★After these events Karna later gave up his throne.
★It is also true that Bhoja and Karna were long-standing enemies.
★But mere enmity does not by itself explain the abdication of the throne.
★So the reason, though true, is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
