Answer
Assertion is true but reason is false
Explanation
Assertion (A) is true because the bottom of a pond appears shallower than its actual depth due to refraction of light from water to air.
Reason (R) is false because water is a denser medium as compared to air so the light rays coming from the bottom of the pond bend away from the normal as they pass from water to air due to increase in speed.
