Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Assertion (A) is true. Jainism divides jivas into baddha (bound) and mukta (liberated); the mukta jiva has shed all karmic matter (pudgala) and exists as a pure soul at the top of the universe (siddhasila).
Reason (R) is true. The liberated soul regains its inherent nature, the ananta-catustaya or four infinities: infinite faith/perception (ananta darsana), infinite knowledge (ananta jnana), infinite power (ananta virya) and infinite bliss (ananta sukha).
(R) explains (A): the possession of these four infinities, which karma had obscured, is exactly what makes the mukta jiva a released pure soul; their full manifestation is the mark of liberation.
Hence, the answer is: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
