Answer
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Reason — A is true as noble gases have completely filled valence shells making them chemically stable.
R is true as except noble gases, other elements do not have completely filled outermost shells.
Therefore, Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A is the correct option.
