Answer 1

The correct answer is (A) is true, but (R) is false.

Key Points

The correct answer is 1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Assertion (A): "Urban local bodies in Uttarakhand include three types of institutions."
This statement is true. In Uttarakhand, urban local bodies are generally categorized into three types:
1. Municipalities
2. Municipal Corporations
3. Nagar Panchayats
Reason (R): "Srinagar is the lone Municipal Corporation located in the purely hilly region of Uttarakhand."
This statement is also true. Srinagar is the only Municipal Corporation located in the purely hilly area of Uttarakhand. Most of the Municipal Corporations in Uttarakhand are located in the plains or foothill areas, while Srinagar is situated in the hilly region of the state.
Since both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) correctly explains why there is a distinction in urban local body types in Uttarakhand (with Srinagar as the lone Municipal Corporation in the hilly region), the answer is 1).
