Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).. (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A). **Explanation:** Both statements are historically true facts regarding the 1991 financial sector reforms. However, allowing FIIs (the Reason) is a separate reform action and does not *explain* why the foreign investment limit in banks was raised to 74% (which was done to increase competition and efficiency).
