Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation — In Dobereiner’s triads, the atomic mass of the middle element is approximately the average of the atomic masses of the other two. Hence, Assertion (A) is false.
Dobereiner grouped elements into triads because they had similar chemical properties. Hence, Reason (R) is true.
