Solution
A is false and R is true.
Explanation:
The Earth rotates from west to east, which is true. However, when crossing the International Date Line from west to east, the date actually changes to the previous day (not the next day). Crossing from east to west changes the date to the next day. Hence, the assertion is false but the reason is true.
