Answer
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation
Assertion is true because, it is the Power of a Quotient rule. It states that when two different bases are divided and raised to the same power, the power can be applied to the quotient.
Reason is true because, it is the Power of a Product rule. It correctly states that am x bm = (ab)m.
While both are valid laws of exponents, the rule for multiplication (Reason) does not explain the rule for division (Assertion).
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
