Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Urban populations tend to work in industries, factories, commerce, education, healthcare, trade, and other services. Farming is mainly rural-based because it requires land and is classified under the primary sector, while urban economies focus on secondary (like factories) and tertiary activities (like trade, transport, communication, and health). This is supported by the classification of sectors where agriculture belongs to the primary sector and is mostly rural, and cities are centers for secondary and tertiary occupations.
