Codes :
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
'The tent is mightier than the pen' (printed in the paper as 'mighter') is an old maxim of district administration in India. It means that the collector governs better by touring and camping among the people than by writing files at headquarters.
The reason states the purpose of the maxim: to impress on the collector the need for field visits, to meet people in their own surroundings and see conditions for himself. That is exactly why touring is valued above desk work, so (R) explains (A). Options C and D are wrong because both statements are true, and option B because the reason is the explanation.
