उत्तर
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
m-bromobenzoic acid is produced by brominating benzoic acid. As an electron-withdrawing group, −COOH reduces electron density in a π system, making it more electrophilic and directing the incoming group to the meta position. The −COOH group decreases electron density in the ortho and para positions while increasing electron density in the meta position.
