Correct Answer: B


Solution : Answer = Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

Assertion (A) is true because when shares are forfeited, the securities premium received on those shares is not debited to the securities premium reserve account.

Reason (R) is also true because the received amount of securities premium may be debited when writing off certain types of capital loss or expenditure. However, this reason does not provide a correct explanation for Assertion (A). Forfeiture of shares does not typically involve writing off capital loss or expenditure. Therefore, while both statements are true, Reason (R) does not correctly explain Assertion (A).
Hence, the correct option is 2.
