Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (option a)

Assertion: The development of agriculture and industry leads to the development of the service sector.

• This statement is correct.
• Agriculture and industry come under the primary sector. They are labor-intensive and form the backbone of most economies.
• Their development creates the demand for other services, hence the service sector also develops.

Reason: As the primary and secondary sectors develop, the demand for transport, storage structures, banks, insurance, etc., increases.

• This statement is also correct.
• The primary sector creates jobs in other sectors like transport, banks, insurance, etc.
• This is because as the primary sector expands, it needs to outsource some services for large-scale endeavors.
• Moreover, people in the primary sector become more financially stable and look for investments or banks.

Thus, the correct option is a)  Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
