Answer
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Explanation — While both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, Reason (R) does not explain Assertion (A) directly. Assertion (A) describes what happens when there is a clear majority, while Reason (R) talks about a situation where there is no clear majority and the President's discretionary power. Therefore, Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
