Correct Answer: Both Assertion A and reason R are correct but the reason R is the correct explanation of Assertion A


Solution : Answer = Both Assertion A and reason R are correct but reason R is the correct explanation of Assertion A

It may become invalid to compare financial accounts from various accounting years due to a shift in the level of prices. This is a result of accounting records failing to take changing currency values into account. Since accounting accounts are created at historical cost, changes in the worth of money are not taken into account.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
