উত্তর: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

ব্যাখ্যা

Per the official key, both are true but R does not explain A. Invert sugar (glucose + fructose from hydrolysis of sucrose) is sweeter because fructose is very sweet; hydrolysis alone does not explain the sweetness.
