Back to paper

Identify the correct match.

A) Pension to retired government employees - Revenue Receipt

B) Purchase of Machinery in Railways - Capital Expenditure

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only B.

The correct match is:

B) Purchase of Machinery in Railways - Capital Expenditure

Explanation:

  • A) Pension to retired government employees - Revenue Receipt: This statement is incorrect. Pension payments are considered a revenue expenditure, not a revenue receipt. Revenue expenditure refers to spending that is recurring and covers day-to-day expenses, while revenue receipts are incomes that the government receives from taxes and other sources.

  • B) Purchase of Machinery in Railways - Capital Expenditure: This statement is correct. The purchase of machinery in railways is considered capital expenditure because it involves buying long-term assets (like machinery) that will be used for many years and not for regular operational costs.

So, the correct answer is only B.
