Assertion (A) : A patient helps to maintain Intellectual Property Rights on an invention.
Reason (R) : A patent is a primary source of information.
Answer: A
The answer is Both (A) and (R) are true. The paper prints 'patient' in (A) where it means 'patent'.
Read that way, Assertion (A) is correct: a patent grants the inventor exclusive rights over the invention for a limited period, usually twenty years, so it is one of the main instruments for protecting intellectual property rights in an invention.
Reason (R) is also correct: a patent document is a primary source of information, because it is the first public disclosure of new technical knowledge and often the only one. Since both statements are true, the options marking either one false are wrong.
