Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: In a Vernier calliper, if a positive zero error exists, then while taking measurements, the reading taken will be more than the actual reading.
Reason $(R)$: The zero error in a Vernier calliper might have happened due to a manufacturing defect or due to rough handling.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A
  Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
• B
  Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$.
• C
  $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
• D
  $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
