Answer

A is false but R is true.

Explanation — At S.T.P. (Standard Temperature and Pressure), one mole of a gas actually occupies 22.4 litres, not 24.4 litres, so Assertion (A) is false.

Reason (R) is true because by definition, the mass of one mole of a substance equals its molecular mass in grams.
