Answer

both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true because primary cells (like dry cells, alkaline batteries) are non-rechargeable. Once their chemical reaction is completed, they cannot be reused, so they are discarded after use.

Reason (R) is true because in primary cells, the chemical reaction is irreversible, which means the chemicals cannot be restored to their original form by passing a current therefore, the cell cannot be recharged. Hence, reason correctly explains assertion.
