Assertion (A): Agriculture is an old economic activity.

Answer:
Agriculture is an old economic activity. Cultivation techniques change from crop to crop depending upon the characteristics of physical, environmental, and technical methods.
Therefore,
- Assertion (A): Agriculture is an old economic activity - Agriculture was started in 9000 BCE . So, this is true
- Reasoning (R): Farming varies from subsistence to commercial type - Cultivation techniques change from crop to crop depending upon the characteristics of physical, environmental, and technical methods . So, this is true.

Thus,
- Assertion is true .
- Reasoning is true
