Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation — The pH of an acid is less than 7. Hence the assertion (A) is false. Reason (R) is true because, acids are defined as compounds which contain one or more hydrogen atoms and when dissolved in water, produces hydronium ion as the only positively charged ions.
