Both options A and R are individually true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
The assertion (A) states that the growth of industrial output has been slow after the mid-sixties. This statement is true as industrial output did experience a slowdown during this period.
The reason (R) provided is that there is a conflict of proprietary classes, specifically the industrial capitalist class, rich farmers, and professionals. This reason is also true, as conflicts between different classes in society can indeed impact the growth of industrial output. The conflicts between these classes may include issues such as competition for resources, labor disputes, and conflicting interests.
Additionally, the reason (R) logically explains the assertion (A). The conflicts between different proprietary classes can create obstacles and disagreements that hinder the growth of industrial output.
Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
