Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Escalators are preferred by users for vertical circulation in a mall than elevators.
Reason (R): The speed of elevator is much lesser than that of escalator. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Difference between elevators and escalators:
• Elevator $\rightarrow$ Faster vertical transport with waiting time
• Escalator $\rightarrow$ Continuous pedestrian movement Escalators are preferred in malls because they efficiently handle high pedestrian traffic.
