AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Women work more hours than men on average, but the bulk of their work is household-related, which is unpaid and therefore remains invisible in economic assessments.
The textbook explicitly states: "The work done by men is more visible because most of their work leads to generation of income… the bulk of their (women's) work is household related. This work remains unpaid and invisible." This directly links the Reason to the Assertion — unpaid household work is precisely why women's work stays invisible economically. Option (A) is correct.
