Evaluate the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and choose the correct option.
Assertion
Assertion (A): A particle moves from x = 0 m to x = 10 m and then returns to x = 4 m. The magnitude of its average velocity is smaller than its average speed.
Reason
Reason (R): The total distance is 10 + 6 = 16 m, whereas the magnitude of displacement is 4 m; both are divided by the same total time.
