Explanation

In the administrative system of the Delhi Sultanate, the land was primarily divided into two main categories: Khalisa and Iqta (the latter is often referred to as Jagirs in a general sense). Assertion (A) is correct as it reflects this broad division between direct state-managed land and assigned land. Khalisa land was under the direct control of the Sultan, and its revenue was collected by the central revenue department to fund the royal household and the central army. In contrast, Iqtas (or Jagirs) were land assignments given to military commanders and officials in lieu of cash salaries. The assignees (Iqtadars) collected the revenue to maintain themselves and their troops. Therefore, Reason (R) is false because the land under the direct control of the State was the Khalisa, not the Jagirs.
