    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

    тАв The Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayananda Saraswati in 1875 in Bombay. тАв It aimed at reforming Hindu society by promoting self-confidence and self-reliance among Hindus, opposing idolatry, and returning to the authority of the Vedas. тАв The movement also challenged the superiority of the white race and criticized foreign domination over India. тАв Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A). The Arya SamajтАЩs emphasis on self-confidence among Hindus was primarily linked to religious and social reforms rather than directly challenging racial superiority. Thus, the correct answer is (b).
