The correct answer is: C. A is true but R is false
Jainism is an ancient Indian religion that teaches a path of non-violence, renunciation, and strict asceticism. Jains believe that the universe is eternal and cyclical, and that souls are reborn into different bodies until they achieve liberation (moksha).
Jains do not believe in a supreme being or creator god. They believe that the universe is governed by the law of karma, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that good deeds lead to good karma, and bad deeds lead to bad karma.
Jains believe that the goal of life is to achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth. This can be achieved by following the path of non-violence, renunciation, and strict asceticism.
Jains do not worship images of tirthankaras. Tirthankaras are the 24 spiritual teachers who founded Jainism. Jains believe that the tirthankaras were perfect beings who showed the way to liberation. However, they do not worship the tirthankaras as gods.
The reason why Jains do not worship images of tirthankaras is because they believe that doing so would be a form of idolatry. Jains believe that the only way to achieve liberation is to follow the path of non-violence, renunciation, and strict asceticism. They believe that worshipping images of tirthankaras would distract them from this path.
In conclusion, the assertion (A) that Jains follow the practice of worshipping images of tirthankaras is true. However, the reason (R) that they denied the existence of a Supreme Being is false.
