- A Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
- B Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

Model Answer
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Verification: Circumference $= 2\pi r = 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 28 = 176$ cm. ✓
Explanation
Check the assertion by substituting r = 28 in the formula given in R: 2 × (22/7) × 28 = 176 cm, which is correct. Since R states the correct formula and directly gives A, option (A) is right. Always verify the numerical assertion quickly before choosing.
