Assertion: When a particle moves with constant velocity its average velocity, its insttantaneous velocity and its speed are all equal in magnitude. Reason: If the average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval, then it is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the internal.
