Solution
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Explanation:
A revaluation account is prepared at the time of dissolution of a partnership to revalue assets and liabilities before their actual realisation. It helps to adjust the profit or loss arising due to a change in asset values, not to determine net gain/loss on realisation or settlement of liabilities. The actual gain or loss on realisation is recorded in the realisation account, not the revaluation account.
