Solution

The correct option is B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
The Physical Quality of Life Index considers three factors for measurement. They are life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and basic literacy. It ignores the role of income in a nation's development, and hence does not give a complete picture of economic development.
