Answer 2

Answer:

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

Explanation:

People (especially Brahmanas) were classified into gotras, which was a Brahmanical practise dating back to around 1000 BCE.

Each gotra was named after a Vedic seer, and all members of the same gotra were considered his descendants.

Two gotra rules were particularly important:

• Women were expected to give up their father's gotra and adopt that of their husband upon marriage.
• members of the same gotra could not marry
• So, Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
