Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A, and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Musical form 'Sadra' is rendered in Jhaptal.
Reasons R: Musical form 'Sadra' is a bridge between Tarana and Thumari.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Correct Option: c)
Sadra is a semi-classical vocal form that sits between the rigid structure of a khayal and the lighter, more expressive forms like thumri. It has its own set of conventional talas.
Information Booster:
· Assertion A is true. The musical form 'Sadra' is traditionally and most commonly rendered in Jhaptal (a 10-beat cycle).
· It can also be set to other talas, but Jhaptal is its primary vehicle.
· Reason R is false. Sadra is not specifically a bridge between Tarana and Thumri.
· It is considered a form that bridges Dhrupad/ Khayal and Thumri.
· Tarana is a distinct genre based on rhythmic syllables.
Additional Knowledge:
· The Reason inaccurately describes Sadra's stylistic position, even though the Assertion about its tala is correct.
