Detailed Solution

Efficient means of transport are perquisites for fast development. Transport enables the movement of goods and services from supply locations to demand locations. All the raw materials needed for production or our daily life are not present in one particular region; they are scattered across the country. Transportation helps to bring these raw materials or finished products to the demand location. The movement of goods, services, people, ideas, and knowledge across regions enhances the economy with new technologies.
A proper transportation system can only enhance a country's economic growth. Therefore both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
