Assertion: A positively charged rod is held near a neutral conducting solid sphere as illustrated below. The sphere lies on a insulated stand. The potential of ground (or earth) is zero. The potential at point `A` (point `A` need not be centre of the sphere) is higher compared to potential of gound (earth).

Reason: In this situation of assertion, the potential at the centre of conducting sphere is positive. the solid sphere being conducting, potential at each point in the sphere is same.
