Answer
both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Explanation
Assertion (A) is true because if a ray of light hits the mirror perpendicularly (i.e., along the normal), the angle of incidence is 0°, and the ray reflects back along the same path. So, angle of reflection is also 0°.
Reason (R) is true because it's a law of reflection which states that during reflection, angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection so the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
