The answer is (b): Both Assertion and Reason are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Why average income is a better measure of index of development as compared to total income:

• The entire income of a country is divided by the total population to get the average income.
• If a country's average income is sufficient to meet basic necessities and provide other amenities, it is considered developed.
• More money equates to more of everything humans need.
• It does not show how money is distributed across various social groupings.
• It hides imbalances among a country's population.
• Other variables of health, literacy, life expectancy, and educational achievement are not covered by total income.
