Answer

assertion is false but reason is true

Explanation

Assertion (A) is false because acceleration can be positive, negative (retardation), or zero depending on whether the velocity is increasing, decreasing, or constant.

Reason (R) is true because acceleration of a body is given by :

Acceleration=Change in velocityTime interval\text {Acceleration}= \dfrac{\text {Change in velocity}}{\text {Time interval}}
