Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option D: (A) is false but (R) is true

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “(A) is false but (R) is true”.
The reason (R) is true as the objective of the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) is to provide equitable access to infrastructure for all.

However, the assertion (A) is false as the NIP has been launched for the period of 2019-2025, and not for the period of 2020-30 as mentioned in the assertion.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (d) (A) is false but (R) is true.
