The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Governor Eligibility Assertion Analysis

Assertion (A) states that a person must be a citizen of India and have completed the age of Thirty Five Years to be eligible for appointment as Governor. This assertion is factually correct according to Article 157 of the Constitution of India.

Governor Office of Profit Reason Analysis

Reason (R) states that the Governor is debarred from holding any other office of profit during their term of office. This statement is also factually correct, as provided in Article 158(2) of the Constitution of India.

Explanation Relationship Assessment

Assertion (A) pertains to the fundamental eligibility criteria required before an individual can be appointed as Governor. Reason (R) addresses a restriction applicable during the Governor's tenure.

Reason (R), concerning the prohibition of holding other offices of profit, does not provide the rationale or justification for the eligibility requirements mentioned in Assertion (A), such as being a citizen or meeting the minimum age. These are distinct constitutional provisions.

Therefore, while both statements (A) and (R) are true, Reason (R) does not serve as a correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Conclusion

Based on the analysis, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true statements. However, Reason (R) does not correctly explain Assertion (A).

This corresponds to Option B.
