Answer 2

In the given question,

• The assertion statement is "The Non-Cooperation Movement gradually slowed down for a variety of reasons in the cities." which is true because mill clothes were quite accessible and cheap and Khadi cloth was not affordable by poor people.
• The reason stated is "As the boycott movement spread, and people began discarding imported clothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of Indian textile mills and handlooms went up." which is also true people decided to discard the imported clothes to boycott British rules and policies.
• Both the Assertion and Reason statement is correct but the R statement is not the correct explanation of A statement.

Hence, both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
