49) Given below are two statements, one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R
Assertion A: A farmer puts in labour and capital worth INR 100,000 to her farm as part of the incentives given by the
government. The first unit of labour and capital yield 10000 kg of grain. The second unit of labour and capital increase the
yield to 18000 kg, and the third to 25000 kg.
Reason R: The application of each new unit of about and capital increases the total output of grains but the output due to
each successive unit goes on diminishing from 10000 kg to 8000 kg to 7000 kg as the Law of Diminishing Returns sets in.

their changes. Then the winds, the hot and the cold, especially such as are common to all countries, and then such as are
peculiar to each locality.

differ much in their qualities.
