Answer:
Assertion (A) is true
but reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
If we look at the assertion closely, it is true that a sublime substance changes from solid to gas without passing through a liquid state. Naphthalene, camphor, iodine and ammonium chloride are some common examples of the substances which undergo sublimation.
However, not all solids first pass through a liquid state before converting to gas. Sublime solids such as those listed above passes directly from solid to gas without passing through a liquid state.
Hence the assertion is true but reason is false.
