Assertion (A) and Reason (R) pattern :
Assertion (A) : Public Administration is more comprehensive than Private Administration.
Reason (R) : Public Administration regulates Private Administration.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation, so the answer is Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The Assertion is the usual comparison: public administration is wider in scope and impact than private administration because it covers the whole range of state activity, touches every citizen and serves public purposes. The Reason is also true: the state regulates private business through laws on companies, labour, taxation, pollution and so on.
But regulation is only one of the many functions that make public administration comprehensive. Its breadth comes from its public character and the range of services it provides, not from the fact that it regulates private firms, so (R) does not explain (A). Options saying either statement is false are wrong because both are accepted.
