Question

Assertion (A): Public revenue means the income of the government through all sources.

Reason (R): Tax is the major source of revenue for the government.

Options

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

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

• Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Public revenue is defined as all types of government income, with taxes accounting for the majority of that collection; both statements are independent facts. The breakdown of individual revenue sources does not provide a rational explanation for the broad concept of public revenue.
