Answer

(A) and (R) are independent of each other

Explanation — The President is himself the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Also, it is the duty of the Speaker of the two Houses to preside over the sessions of the House and regulate debates and proceedings, and not that of the President. The President only addresses the Joint session of both the Houses.
