Explanation

Under Industrial Disputes Act, a 'workman' must perform manual, clerical, or supervisory/technical work. The Assertion that a priest qualifies is FALSE - religious duties are not manual/clerical services. The Reason correctly states this exclusion principle but contradicts the Assertion, making Reason TRUE. Option D correctly identifies (A) as false and (R) as true.
