Answer
A is true but R is false.
Explanation— Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution formed when sunlight reacts with pollutants like nitrogen oxides Ozone (O3), Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) and Other oxidants and organic compounds. Hence, the assertion (A) is true.
Photochemical smog forms primarily in warm, sunny conditions, not cold weather. Hence, the reason (R) is false.
