Correct Answer: Both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

The Assertion states that the per capita income of a country is obtained by dividing the total national income by the population. This is correct. Per capita income is a measure that represents the average income earned per person in a country. It is calculated by dividing the total national income (or gross national income) by the population of the country.

The Reason provided states that per capita income represents the average income earned per person in a country. This is also true. Per capita income is specifically designed to measure the average income of individuals within a country by taking into account the total income and dividing it by the population.

Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
