उत्तर
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation:
The assertion is true because acidic solutions react with the calcium carbonate in eggshells, releasing carbon dioxide gas that turns lime water milky. This is also true because hydrogen chloride dissociates into ions in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. However, electrical conductivity does not explain the gas-evolving reaction with eggshells.
