Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
There is a need for better security, and the locality has collectively paid for the security guards. It is cheaper for the members to pay collectively than to have a singular security guard per house. Also, if there are guards at just some houses, there may be robberies at other houses, making the locality unsafe. Thus, paying for the collective benefit of society helps to resolve issues. This is an excellent example of Self Help Groups. These are groups of rural people who work in the credit sector. There are a total of 15 to 20 members per group. The groups are formed with the primary goal of saving money and lending it in times of need. They also discuss other issues, such as health, nutrition and security.
