    (A) and the other is the reason (R). Statement (A): The average and daily temperature of Agra are 40°C and 4°Crespectively, while in Darjeeling’s case it is 16°C and 4°C. Reason (R): The difference in the temperature is due to the altitude differences and the fact that the air is colder at higher altitudes, while at lower altitudes the air is warmer. Choose the correct answer from the options below:
    A (A) and (R) both are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (A) is true but (R) is false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (A) is false but (R) is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (A) and (R) both are false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • The given information compares the average temperatures of Agra and Dalsingh. The temperature differences between these two places can be attributed to altitude. • Agra experiences a much lower temperature compared to Dalsingh, which is at a lower altitude and has much warmer air. • The reason provided (R) also logically explains that the lower altitude leads to warmer air, while higher altitudes are cooler. Thus, the correct answer is (a) (A) and (R) both are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
