Assertion (A): All Jagirdars were primarily mansabdars, but not all mansabdars were Jagirdars.

ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true, but R is false
DA is false, but R is true
Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A — Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is both true with R explaining A.
Explanation
★Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is both true with R explaining A.
★Every Jagirdar held a mansab, so all Jagirdars were indeed mansabdars.
★But not every mansabdar was given a Jagir.
★This is because some mansabdars were paid in cash from the treasury.
★Such cash-paid nobles were called naqdi.
★So the cash payment of some mansabdars explains why not all of them held Jagirs.
