Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Assertion (A): In 1946, the Muslim League withdrew its acceptance of the Cabinet Mission Plan. Reason (R): The Muslim League joined the interim government formed in 1946.

Verified Answer
A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
B. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C. (A) is true, but (R) is false
D. (A) is false, but (R) is true

Explanation:

Assertion (A) is true: The Muslim League initially accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan but withdrew its acceptance in July 1946. Reason (R) is also true: The Muslim League later joined the interim government in October 1946. However, Reason (R) does not explain Assertion (A). The withdrawal from the Cabinet Mission Plan was due to disagreements over its interpretation and the Congress's stance, not because they joined the interim government (which happened later and was a separate strategic move).
