Answer
A is true but R is false.
Explanation — The assertion is true: Mangalore has an equitable (moderate) climate, while Nagpur experiences an extreme climate. This is because Mangalore is located on the western coast of India and is influenced by the moderating effect of the sea, which keeps temperatures fairly stable throughout the year. On the other hand, the reason given is false—Nagpur is located inland, far from the coast, which is why it experiences greater temperature variations. Hence, A is true but R is false.
