Assertion (A) : Kautilya's King is the fountain of justice.

Reason (R) : The King administers justice in accordance with edicts and evidence.
Codes :

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

Answer: A

Both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion. In Kautilya's Arthashastra the King is the fountain of justice, because he is the source of the law and the final judge. He administers justice according to edicts, that is royal orders and the sacred law, and the evidence in each case.

The option that the reason does not explain the assertion is wrong, because the reason describes how the King acts as the fountain of justice. The options calling either statement false are wrong because both are accurate.
