Answer

A is true but R is false.

Explanation — When Iron (II) salt (Green colour) solution are reacted with ammonium hydroxide, a dirty green insoluble precipitate is formed. Hence the assertion (A) is true.

FeSO4green+2NH4OHFe(OH)2dirty green ppt+(NH4)2SO4colourless in solution\underset{\text{green}}{{\text{FeSO}4}} + 2\text{NH}4\text{OH} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{dirty green ppt}}{\text{Fe(OH)}2↓} + \underset{\text{colourless in solution}}{(\text{NH}4)2\text{SO}4}

Iron (II) salts are Green and Iron (III) salts are yellow in colour so reason (R) is false.
