Model Answer

Option A is correct. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A), as the passage states mills shift to Maharashtra because sugarcane there has higher sucrose content and cooler climate ensures a longer crushing season.

Explanation

The source passage directly supports both statements. The higher sucrose content and longer crushing season (due to cooler climate) are explicitly given as reasons for the southward/westward shift of sugar mills — making (R) a direct and correct explanation of (A). Choose option A.
