Answer 1

(2)

Explanation:

The cerebrum, not the cerebellum, is the largest portion of the brain. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is false.

The cerebellum lies below the cerebrum and helps maintain balance and muscular coordination. The cerebrum is the seat of intelligence, consciousness, memory, thinking, and will power. Therefore, the Reason (R) is true.

Hence, A is false and R is true.
