50. Assertion (A) : Geometric mean is theoretically considered as the
best average to construct index numbers.
Reason (R) : Geometric mean is used if the range of
observations is extremely large.
Codes :
(A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
