Detailed Solution

(A) is correct but (R) is wrong
The net attendance ratio is the total number of children of 14 or 15 years attending school as a percentage of the total number of children in the same age group.
If the students went to other states for higher education, the total number of students available in the state would go down, and the net attendance ratio would not be so low. The low net attendance ratio indicates students are dropping out of elementary schools.
