Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion $$(a)$$ and the Reason$$(r).$$

Assertion(A): In a power plant working on a Rankine cycle, the regenerative feed water heating improves the efficiency of the steam turbine.

Reason(R): The regenerative feed water heating raises the average temperature of heat addition in the Rankine cycle.

Both $$A$$ and $$R$$ are true and $$R$$ is the correct Reason for $$A$$

Both $$A$$ and $$R$$ are true but $$R$$ is NOT the correct reason for $$A$$

Both $$A$$ and $$R$$ are false

$$A$$ is false but $$R$$ is true
