Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
(d): If $c=1$ then we have,
$(a \div b) \div c=(a \div b) \div 1=(a \div b) \text { and } a \div(b \div c)=a \div(b \div 1)=(a \div b)$
$\therefore$ in that case, $(a \div b) \div c=a+(b \div c)$.
Hence, A is false. R is true since division on integers is not assoclative.
$(a \div b) \div c=(a \div b) \div 1=(a \div b) \text { and } a \div(b \div c)=a \div(b \div 1)=(a \div b)$
$\therefore$ in that case, $(a \div b) \div c=a+(b \div c)$.
Hence, A is false. R is true since division on integers is not assoclative.
