Answer

assertion is true but reason is false.

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true. Class III levers always have a mechanical advantage less than 1, indicating that the load force is greater than the effort force.

Reason (R) is false. In class III levers, the load arm is always longer than the effort arm. Therefore, the statement that the effort arm is always greater than the load arm is incorrect.
