Read the below statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark the correct options: Assertion (A): Last Man in Tower explores the moral and ethical conflicts faced by residents during rapid urban development and real estate pressures in Mumbai. Reason (R): The novel focuses on the historical evolution of Mumbai's architecture and its colonial past.
A is true, but R is false.
Last Man in Tower (2011) is a novel by Aravind Adiga set in a Mumbai housing society where a builder offers residents large sums to vacate their flats so a luxury tower can be built. The book centres on the moral and ethical conflicts that arise as neighbours pressure a single hold-out to give up his home — clearly about urban development and real estate pressures. So Assertion A is true.
The novel does not focus on the historical evolution of Mumbai's architecture or its colonial past; that is not its theme. So Reason R is false.
Hence A is true, R is false.
