Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

The assertion is true because, during inflation, the value or purchasing power of money declines. The reason is also correct because when the costs of products and services grow, the same amount of money may purchase fewer things and services than before. During inflation, money loses purchasing power. As a result, the reason accurately explains why money loses value due to inflation.
