Answer 1

Answer:

a is the correct answers

Answer 2

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

• The statements given in the question simply mean that there are resources available in many regions in our country bu there are no proper technologies to use these resources as these regions are not developed.
• This makes much of the resources go in vain.
• Although the government is constantly making efforts to introduce some development in these regions but it would surely take much time.
• Regions of Assam and jharkhand come into the category of economically backward regions but rich in resources category because of their illiteracy rate, destruction caused by natural calamities evert year, tribal communities and much more.
