Solution

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

Assertion A is false because weak electrolytes are only partially ionised and allow a small amount of electric current to flow. Reason R is true because substances containing only molecules, such as sugar and benzene, are non-electrolytes. Thus, only R is true.
