Assertion (A): The rock-cut rathas at Mahabalipuram have been named as Dharmaraja, Bhima, Arjuna, Draupadi, Nakula and Sahadeva.
Reason (R): The total number of rathas in this group is eight.
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 rock-cut rathas at Mahabalipuram are named after the Pandavas and Draupadi.
★The Nakula and Sahadeva ratha is a joint one, named for the twin brothers.
★The total number of rathas in this group is indeed eight.
★So both statements are correct in themselves.
★But the total of eight does not explain why the rathas bear those names.
