Assertion [A] and Reason [R] question Type : Assertion [A] : The emoluments and allowances of the Governor shall not be diminished during his term of office. Reason [R] : Where the same person is appointed as Governor of two or more states, the emoluments and allowances payable to the Governor shall be allocated among the states in such proportion as the President may by order determine.
Both [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct explanation of [A]
Article 158(4) provides that the emoluments and allowances of the Governor shall not be diminished during his term of office. So the assertion is true.
Article 158(3A) provides that where the same person is Governor of two or more States, his emoluments and allowances are shared among those States in the proportion the President determines by order. So the reason is also true.
The reason deals with how the cost is shared among States, while the assertion is a protection of the Governor's salary during the term; the reason does not explain why the salary cannot be reduced.
Hence, Both [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct explanation of [A].
