The correct answer is

[A] is true but [R] is false

Subhas Chandra Bose believed that India's freedom could be won by armed struggle. He escaped from India in 1941, sought help from the Axis powers and led the Indian National Army against the British, so the assertion is true.

He did not accept the Gandhian creed of non-violence; his differences with Gandhi led to his resignation as Congress President in 1939 and the formation of the Forward Bloc.

So the reason is false, as it contradicts his actual approach.

Hence, [A] is true but [R] is false.
