Detailed Solution

India is located centrally, halfway between East and West Asia. From the western shore, India could establish a close connection with West Asia, Africa, and Europe, and from the eastern coast, with Southeast and East Asia. So, Assertion (A) is correct.
India lies in the southward extension of the continent of Asia and not the northward extension. India is strategically situated in the middle of the trans-Indian Ocean trade routes that link East Asia and Western Europe nations. Hence, Reason (R) is not correct.
