• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false (R) is true.

Hint:

When dealing with assertion and reason questions, check if the reason logically explains the assertion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the assertion and reason.
The assertion "India is a democratic country" is true. The reason "India has a constitution of its own" is also true, but it does not directly explain the assertion that India is democratic.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) does not explain why India is a democratic country. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{Both (A) \text{ and } (R) \text{ are true but } (R) \text{ is not the correct explanation of } (A)} \]
