Answer

assertion is false but reason is true

Explanation

Assertion (A) is false as on the Moon, a person actually feels lighter, not heavier because the gravitational acceleration (g) on the Moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so weight is also 1/6th.

​Reason (R) is true because the Moon’s gravitational acceleration is much lower than that of Earth.
