Periodicity of Sine and Cosine Functions

Assertion (A): Sine and cosine functions are periodic functions.
Reason (R): Sinusoidal functions repeat its values after a definite interval of time.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Periodic functions like sine and cosine repeat their values over a fixed period. Reason (R) defines periodicity, which directly explains Assertion (A).
Thus, both are true, and R explains A.
