Answer
A is true but R is false.
Explanation — Miscible liquids are those liquids which mix completely with each other to form a single, uniform layer. Hence, they can be said to "dissolve" in each other. So, Assertion (A) is true.
Petrol and water are immiscible; they do not mix and form two separate layers (petrol floats on water). So, Reason (R) is false.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
