(R) and (A) are correct, (A) is the correct explanation of (R)
(R) and (A) are correct but (A) is not the correct assertion of (R)
(R) is true but (A) is wrong
(R) is wrong but (A) is true

Answer 1

Assertion (A) The diet of the early Tamils was not very different from that of modern times. Ghee played a conspicious part in the diet of all, it fetched a high price. → True

Reason (R) Ghee was used freely both by vegetarian and non vegetarian Avur Mulankilar and Purattinai Nannaganar spoken of the use of ghee. → True

The reason (R) gives a background context to the assertion (A) by explaining why ghee was important in early Tamil diets. So the reason supports the assertion.

Thus, (R) and (A) are correct, (A) is the correct explanation of (R).

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
