Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Explanation:

Average income isn't the only thing that is considered while checking if a country is developed or not... health facilities, freedom, etc are also to be considered.

Also, Average Income hides disparities which skews(hinders) the final results quite prominently.

If I helped you in any way just remember there's a button for that ;)

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) Both the Assertion and Reason are True and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

• While the average income of a country is useful for comparison, it does not tell us anything about how the income is distributed among the people.
• A developed country is where each individual constituting the population obtains an income similar to that of most of the others residing in his/her country. Therefore no one in the country is extremely rich or is extremely poor.
• However, in a country that has not been developed, there is a huge gap in between the rich and the poor where most of the money being earned is being earned by the rich and hence not all the people in the country get a stable equal income.
