Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(Both [As] and [R] are true, but [R] is not the correct explanation of [As].)
कथन सही है क्योंकि रिपोर्टेड स्पीच अर्थ पर केंद्रित होती है। कारण [R] भी सही वाक्य है, लेकिन यह कथन के नियम की *व्याख्या* नहीं करता है, यह केवल एक उदाहरण है।
The Assertion is true as reported speech conveys meaning over exact syntax. The Reason is a valid example of reported speech, but it is just an example and does not *explain* the rule stated in the Assertion.
