Assertion [A] : A medieval Historian Zia-ud-din Barani encouraged the inclusion of Neo-Muslims into Aristocracy. Reason [R] : Balban’s son Prince Muhammed valued knowledge and talent than noble - birth.
[A] is false and [R] is true
Zia-ud-din Barani, the fourteenth century historian of the Delhi Sultanate, held strongly aristocratic views. In works such as the Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi and Fatawa-i-Jahandari he opposed giving high offices to low-born people and recent converts (neo-Muslims), so the assertion is false.
Balban's eldest son Prince Muhammad, governor of Multan, was a cultured patron of scholars and poets such as Amir Khusrau and Amir Hasan; he respected learning and ability rather than mere high birth, so the reason is true.
Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, the question of explanation does not arise.
Hence, [A] is false and [R] is true.
