In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- B.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C.
(A) is true but (R) is false
- D.
(A) is false but (R) is true
B
Explanation
Both statements are factually true. However, R is not the correct explanation of A because the coalition was formed as a pre-poll/post-poll agreement to govern together, rather than purely as a direct consequence of a single party failing.
