Answer
Assertion is true but reason is false
Explanation
Assertion (A) is true because to increase the pitch (or make the sound shrill) in a flute, the holes are opened so as to reduce the length of the vibrating air column.
Reason (R) is false because in a flute, holes are opened to reduce the length of the vibrating air column and vice versa.
