Correct Answer: (A) is false, but (R) is true.


Solution : Answer = (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion (A) is false because, in the case of shares issued on a pro-rata basis, excess money received at the time of application can be utilized until allotment and thereafter refunded. However, Reason (R) is true, as companies may pay interest on calls in advance.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
