    C (A) is true, but (R) is false. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation:   The assertion (A) is true. India celebrates Republic Day on 26th January every year. However, the reason (R) is false. India did not become free from British rule on 26th January 1947. India gained independence on 15th August 1947. The date 26th January is significant because it marks the adoption of the Indian Constitution on that day in 1950, and it is celebrated as Republic Day.
