Both Assertion(A) and Reason(R) are false.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Explanation:

It is cheaper to have collective security for the entire

locality than having a security man for each house.

Also, if people have their personal security guards in

certain parts of a locality, the robbery can still happen

in houses without a security man. Therefore, paying

for the collective benefit of the society helps to resolve

issues.
