  2. A is false but R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

  4. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (C) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation

Shimla (about 2,200 m) is much colder than Delhi (about 200 m) because temperature falls with altitude, roughly 6.5 °C for every 1,000 m. So both statements are true, and the higher altitude is the reason Shimla is colder.
