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

      Solution

      • Assertion (A) is true. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was indeed the editor of Sambad Kaumudi, which was a prominent Bengali weekly during the early 19th century. • Reason (R) is also true. In Sambad Kaumudi, Raja Ram Mohan Roy published articles condemning the social evils of the time, especially the practice of widow burning (Sati), advocating for reforms in Indian society. Thus, the correct answer is (a) because both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) explains why Raja Ram Mohan Roy edited the magazine.
