Solution
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
In both compressed and stretched states, work is done against the restoring force while deforming the spring; this work is stored as elastic potential energy. Hence both assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
