Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Statement A is correct. West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Assam states are producing more than 75% of the Rice in river delta regions. Statement R is wrong. Because the 1000 mm isohyet runs southwards from the Gujarat coast, roughly parallel to the crest of Western Ghats upto Kanyakumari. The rainfall over the peninsular regions lying to the east of this line drops abruptly to below 600 mm, as it lies in the rain-shadow region. So, west coast receives more rainfall than east coast.
