Solution

Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Explanation:

Cooking food for the family by a housewife is generally considered a non-economic activity because it is not done for earning money or economic gain; it is done out of love and family responsibility. On the other hand, donating blood to an injured person is not an economic activity because it does not involve any compensation or creation of economic value. It is done purely as a non-economic, altruistic act. Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason is true.
