Detailed Solution

Both assertion and reason are true but the provided reason is not the correct explanation of the above-given assertion statement. The export of yarn from India to China declined after the year 1906 and the main reason for this decline in yarn export between the two countries was the rise of Japanese and Chinese mills. The Chinese markets were now flooded with the product of the Japanese and Chinese mills.
