Answer
A is True and R is False.
Reason — A is True because when stamens are united by their filaments into one bundle, it is called a monadelphous condition.
R is False as Pea has diadelphous stamens (united into two bundles). Bombax has polyadelphous stamens (united into more than two bundles).
Therefore, A is true but R is false is the correct option.
