Explanation
The Assertion is true: Congress ministries resigned in October–November 1939 in all the provinces where they held office. The Reason is false: the resignation was a protest against the Viceroy dragging India into World War II without consulting Indian leaders — not a demand for fresh elections or a reaction to Jinnah's two-nation campaign. Hence A is true but R is false.
