Answer

Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

Explanation

When we multiply a decimal by 1000, we shift the decimal point three places to the right.

Example:

2.45 × 1000 = 2450

The Reason is false.

To multiply two decimals, we do not need to convert them into fractions. We multiply the numbers normally and then place the decimal point according to the total number of decimal places.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
