Option 1 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are individually true. Additionally, it claims that R is the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) states that Babar won the First Battle of Panipat. This is true as Babar, the founder of the Mughal Empire, was indeed victorious in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526.

Reason (R) states that Babar was the first to introduce the use of cannons in India. This is also true as Babar brought advanced artillery and cannons from Central Asia, which he utilized in the First Battle of Panipat. This introduction of cannons played a significant role in his victory over Ibrahim Lodi, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate.

Therefore, option 1 is correct as both A and R are true statements, and R provides the correct explanation for A. The use of cannons by Babar in the First Battle of Panipat was a crucial factor in his triumph.
