Assertion (A): Though the central atom of both `NH_(3)` and `H_(2)O` molecules are `sp^(3)` hybridised, yet H-N-H bond angle is greater thant that of H-O-H.
Reason(R): This is because nitrogen atom has one lone pair and oxygen atom has two lone pairs.

A

A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

A and R both are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.
