Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Primary health care centres are indeed small hospitals managed by a doctor and nurse, located in villages and small towns. Social infrastructure, which includes healthcare facilities, raises labour productivity by improving the health of the workforce. However, the reason that social infrastructure raises labour productivity does not directly explain why primary health care centres are small hospitals in rural areas.
