Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) A is false but R is true
India does export natural rubber – export earnings were about US $ 325 million in calendar year 2003, proving the Assertion false. At the same time, domestic production routinely meets well over 90 % of national consumption (about 97 % in the early 2000s); hence the Reason is true. Thus A is false but R is true.
