c) A is correct but R is wrong.
d) A is wrong but R is correct.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

• It is rightly said that in certain areas, the government has to take up heavy expenditure to facilitate everyone in the society as compared to others.
• But this is because certain areas are not developed as the other areas.
• One area can be completely different from another based on agriculture properties, literate/illiterates properties, industrial properties etc.
• So various factors indicate the government functioning and spenditure in different areas.
