Solution:

Concept:

Temperature generally decreases with an increase in altitude.

Explanation:

Mount Abu, located in the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan, is a famous hill station.

Jodhpur lies in the western desert plains of Rajasthan.

The average elevation of Mount Abu is approximately

1220\ \mathrm{m}

above sea level.

In contrast, Jodhpur's elevation is only about

231\ \mathrm{m}

above sea level.

Temperature falls with increasing altitude, at a rate of roughly

6.5^\circ\mathrm{C}

per

1000\ \mathrm{m}

Hence, Mount Abu experiences much cooler temperatures than Jodhpur.

So, Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is also true.

The higher elevation of Mount Abu directly explains why it is cooler than Jodhpur.

Answer:

Option (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
