Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Railways can move a huge number of people in a comfortable and safe manner because they provide organised, spacious, and reliable ground transportation. On the other hand, while air transport is free of geographical limitations such as mountains, rivers, and deserts, this does not explain the railway's capacity. Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
