Detailed Solution

Before the independence of India in 1947, there were two types of states in India- the provinces and the princely states. So, the Assertion (A) is wrong.
The provinces were entirely under British rule and were ruled directly by British officials. A princely state is not directly administered by the British but by a local monarch and is subject to indirect restrictions from the British. Examples of provinces were Bombay, Bengal, Madras, etc. Lucknow, Baroda, Hyderabad state, and the Kingdom of Mysore are some examples of the princely state. So, Reason (R) is correct.
