• Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

The assertion is true since a standard demand curve slopes downward from left to right. The reason is also true and completely explains the assertion since it emphasises the rule of demand: a buyer typically buys more of a commodity when its price decreases and less when its price rises, resulting in an obvious inverse relationship that causes the downward slope.
