Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. Explanation: The commutative property of logical operators states that changing the order of operands does not affect the result of a binary operation. However, according to De Morgan’s law, the negation of a disjunction is equal to the conjunction of the negations, that is, ∼ (A ∨ B) = (∼A ∧ ∼B). Therefore, the given Assertion is true.
