Select the correct option from the given alternatives.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) explain (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R), are true, but (R) does not explain (A)
• C. (A) is true and (R) is false
• D. (A) is false and (R) is true

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both (A) and (R), are true, but (R) does not explain (A)

From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours. Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82oo30'E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night, as one moves from south to north

Thus, Both (A) and (R), are true, but (R) does not explain (A)

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$
