keywords: 

{'economic growth': [0, 0, 3, 5], 'capita income': [0, 1, 3, 4], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'population': [3, 1, 2, 1]}

Option 1 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are individually true and that R is the correct explanation of A.

The assertion (A) states that the per capita income of India does not give a complete picture of the economic growth of the country. This means that simply looking at the average income per person in India does not provide enough information to fully understand the economic situation of the country.

The reason (R) states that the per capita income of a country is not independent of the size of its population. This means that the average income per person in a country is affected by the total population.

Option 1 correctly identifies that both A and R are true statements. The per capita income of India does not provide a complete picture of the economic growth because it does not consider the population size. As a result, the reason provided explains why the assertion is true. Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer.
