Detailed Solution

In its longitudinal extent, the Himalayas are made up of three parallel ranges. The Great or Inner Himalayas, or Himadri, are the northernmost ranges. The Great Himalayan folds are asymmetrical in form. The core of this Himalayan region is made of granite. It is perpetually snowbound, and several glaciers flow from it. So, Assertion(A) is correct.
Himadri is the most continuous range, with the highest peaks averaging 6,000 metres in height. It includes all of the primary Himalayan summits. So, Reason(R) is False.
