Answer
(A) is true but (R) is false
Explanation — During the Early Vedic Period between 1500-1000 BCE, the Aryans settled in the Sapta Sindhu region or the land of the seven rivers — namely Sindhu (Indus), Ravi, Beas, Satluj, Jhelum, Chenab and Saraswati.
During the Later Vedic Period between 1000 to 500 BCE when iron had come to be used, it is believed that Aryans, who were so far nomadic in nature, followed the course of the rivers and settled in the Gangetic Valley.
