Show answer & explanation

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

Explanation

Both statements are true but unrelated: the League withdrew its acceptance of the Cabinet Mission Plan in July 1946 (followed by Direct Action Day). It later joined the Interim Government in October 1946 to avoid leaving power to the Congress, not because it had withdrawn.
