Answer
B.
(A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C.
(A) is true, but (R) is false
D.
Both (A) and (R) are false

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Assertion (A) is correct because Human Resource Accounting (HRA) refers to the process of measuring the cost and value of human resources (employees) in an organisation.

Reason (R) is also correct as it explains that HRA involves measuring costs related to recruitment, selection, hiring, training, and development of employees and also evaluating their economic value to the organisation.

The reason clearly provides a detailed explanation of how human resource accounting measures both cost and value of employees.

Thus, (R) correctly explains (A).

Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
