Question
Assertion : A player lowers his hands while catching a cricket ball and suffers less reaction force.
Reason : The time of catch increases when cricketer lowers its hand while catching a ball.

Answer

(a) By lowering his hand player increases the time of catch, by doing so he experience less force on his hand because $F \propto 1 / d t$.
