Both A and R are true but R does not explain A. Explanation: India indeed has the largest irrigated area of cultivated land (A is true). The failure of monsoon or too much rainfall leads to crop failure (R is true). However, the reason R does not explain A because having large irrigated area is an independent fact, not explained by crop failure due to monsoon variability. The irrigated area helps mitigate monsoon failures but crop failure is a separate consequence of monsoon issues.
