Answer
Dividends are paid based on the face value (nominal value) of the share, not the market value.
The percentage declared as dividend is applied to the face value, regardless of what the share is currently worth on the stock market.
So, assertion (A) is false.
If a company declares a 10% dividend, that means the shareholder gets 10% of the face value per share not the market value.
So, reason (R) is true.
Thus, Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
