पर्याय

• Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is incorrect but Reason (R) is correct.

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are incorrect.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are incorrect.

Explanation:

Debentures A/c is credited with the face value, not the amount received.

1,000 × ₹ 1,000 = ₹ 10,00,000​

The additional 25% premium is credited separately to Securities Premium A/c.
