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

Assertion: The Lower Gondwana rocks in Central India, containing brachiopod genera Productus, Spiriferina and Reticularia, are considered to have formed by transgression of the Tethys Sea in Peninsular India during Permian.

Reason: The brachiopods are marine organisms and the stratigraphic ranges of the brachiopod species of the formation suggest Permian age.
