Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).. Assertion (A) is true because India has experienced significant GDP growth without corresponding growth in employment opportunities. Reason (R) is also true as it correctly defines the term "jobless growth". However, Reason (R) is merely a definition and does not explain *why* the Indian economy is facing this problem.
