Answer 1

Answer.

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

Answer 2

Answer:

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

Explanation:

• India has maintained links with the rest of the globe over the millennia thanks to its strategic location in Asia. Thus, the concepts found in the Upanishads and the Ramayana, as well as the Panchtantra tales, Indian numerals, and the decimal system, were spread throughout much of the world.
• The numerous passes that cut through the mountains in the North offered routes to the early explorers, whilst the oceans long prevented such contact. Since ancient times, these routes have helped with the movement of goods and ideas.
• Through these passages, goods such as spices, muslin, and other items were transported from India to many nations. Since ancient times, mountain passes have helped with the exchange of goods and ideas.

Thus the correct answer is option B.
