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

Answer 1

(A) is true and (R) is false.

Explanation:

Privatisation means transferring ownership, assets, or management of public sector enterprises to private parties, usually by selling shares of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Since the reason mentions that there is no sale of shares, it is incorrect. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
