Answer
A is false but R is true
Explanation
Assertion (A) is false because a stretched bow is not in motion, and kinetic energy is associated only with motion. Instead, the stretched bow stores potential energy due to its deformation, not kinetic energy.
Reason (R) is true because when a bow is stretched, potential energy is stored in it due to its deformation (elastic potential energy).
Therefore, assertion is false but reason is true.
