The correct answer is: Both A and $\mathbf{R}$ are individually true, and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$.
Since $x^{2} < 0$ is not possible for real numbers. A is true Since $x^{2}>0$ for $\forall x \in R$. Both $($ A $)$ and $(R)$ are true and
(R) is the correct explanation of ( $\mathrm{A}$ ).
