Answer 1

The correct option is C [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct justification for [A].

Efficient planning of developmental activities by proper utilisation of available resources is possible only by analysing the population-related information of the country. This is because it is the people of the country who productively utilise the country's resources and formulate policies for the welfare of the country and its people. The world's natural resources can be utilised if humans are empowered with adequate skills. In other words, skilled humans can also be considered as a resource.
