Question

Assertion (A): Production for self-consumption is not accounted for in the national income.

Reasoning (R): The products kept for self consumption do not enter the market.

विकल्प

• (A) is true, but (R) is false.

• (A) is false, but (R) is true.

• Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Answer 1

Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

• The assertion is true because production for self-consumption (like vegetables grown and consumed at home) is generally not included in national income, as it is not sold in the market.
• Reason is also true because such products do not enter the market, so their market value cannot be easily measured.
• Since they do not enter the market, they are not counted, so (R) correctly explains (A).
