Answer 2

Answer:

(C) A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

Indian Railways were founded and expanded by the British. They required prompt and efficient transportation to transfer the raw materials across the country. They were in desperate need of these raw commodities. They were not, however, very concerned with India's economic development.

The purpose of the railway design was to reduce transportation costs and provide English merchants with greater access to raw cotton from India. In addition, the railway would open the Indian market to British manufactured goods like cotton textiles.
