Answer
(A) and (R) are independent of each other.
Explanation — Assertion (A) tells the objective of the Treaty of Versailles, ending World War I and aiming to ensure peace. Reason (R) tells the outcome, the treaty's harsh terms created bitterness and tensions that later contributed to World War II. Since one is the aim and the other is the later effect, they are not cause–reason for each other, so they are independent. Hence, (A) and (R) are independent of each other.
