Assertion (A) : The purpose of higher education is to promote critical and creative thinking abilities among students. Reason (R) : These abilities ensure job placements. Choose the correct answer from the following code :

Since the Reason (R) makes an overstated claim, (R) is false while (A) remains true.
Hence, (A) is true but (R) is false.
