Answer 1

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

While it is factually true that sugarcane juice is highly popular in India during summer and that it serves as a healthier natural alternative to artificial aerated drinks, the reason provided does not explain why it is popular. Its popularity is primarily driven by its refreshing nature, immediate cooling effect, affordable pricing, and wide availability across roadside stalls in India, rather than just consumers choosing it for its health benefits over sodas.
