A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 39A of the Constitution mandates the state to provide free legal aid to ensure equal justice. The Reason directly supports the Assertion - if poverty cannot deny justice (Reason), then the state must provide legal aid (Assertion). This is a constitutional duty under Directive Principles. Both statements are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
