Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The origin of Tabla is considered from Tripushkar.
Reason (R): Tripushkar instrument is divided into two parts.
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:

Pay close attention to etymological prefixes in ancient music terminology: Tri-pushkar literally indicates three drums, allowing you to instantly identify any statement claiming it has two parts as factually incorrect.
