Answer & Solution

Option B: Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)”.
Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of sugarcane in India, followed by Maharashtra and Karnataka.

Uttar Pradesh is a major producer of sugarcane and sugar compared to Maharashtra, but its productivity per unit area is generally lower than that of Maharashtra.

A significant portion of sugar factories in Maharashtra operates in the cooperative sector, which impacts the management and efficiency of sugar production.

The lower productivity in U.P. compared to Maharashtra is influenced by various factors such as agricultural practices, climatic conditions, and infrastructure, rather than just the cooperative nature of the sugar factories.
