Answer
A is True and R is False
Reason — In a turgid cell, turgor pressure pushes outward from inside the cell, while wall pressure pushes inward from the cell wall. They are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions, balancing each other and keeping the cell firm. Therefore, the assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect because the pressures are not in the same direction.
