Answer
Assertion is false but reason is true
Explanation
Assertion (A) is false because, for a given increase in temperature, a gas expands much more than either a liquid or a solid.
Reason (R) is true because in a gas the molecules are much farther apart than those in liquids or solids, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are negligible and the molecules move freely throughout the available space.
