Read the following statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark the correct option: Assertion (A): The Human Development Index (HDI) includes indicators of health, education, and income. Reason (R): The HDI is published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
3. A is true, but R is false
4. A is false, but R is true

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Solution

HDI does include health, education, and income indicators, and it is published by UNDP. However, the fact that UNDP publishes it does not explain why those indicators are included, so the reason is not the correct explanation.
