Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Option 1 states that both statements A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Statement A asserts that Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughluq issued copper coins and declared them as legal tender. This refers to the practice of using copper coins as currency during Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughluq`s reign.

Statement R provides a reason for why Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughluq issued copper coins. It states that his treasury was empty due to his short-sighted projects. This implies that the Sultan resorted to issuing copper coins as a means to address the financial constraints caused by his ill-conceived endeavors.

Therefore, statement R does provide a correct explanation for why Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughluq issued copper coins as legal tender. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
