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

Reason (R): Farming varies from subsistence to commercial type.

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.
  • But, different farming methods have no relation to agriculture being an old economic activity. So, reasoning is not a correct explanation of assertion

Thus, 

  • Assertion is true .
  • Reasoning is true
  • But reasoning is not a correct explanation of Assertion. 

So, the correct answer is (B)
