Solution
The Revenue Expenditure refers to the government expenditure which does not cause any reduction in government liabilities and also does not create assets for the government. For example- expenditure on salaries, pensions, subsidies, interest payments, etc.
On the other hand, Capital Expenditure refers to that government expenditure, which causes a reduction in government liabilities as well as creates assets for the government. For example- expenditure on purchasing shares, bonds, etc.
