Solution

Both A and R are true but R is the incorrect reason for A.

Explanation:

It is true that two frequency polygons can be created on the same graph to compare the performance (like Maths marks) of two classes, hence, the assertion is correct. The reasoning is also true double bar graphs are good for comparing discrete data but it does not explain why frequency polygons are employed in this case. As a result, both statements are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
