Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

An audience is another type of gathering of people who come together for a specific purpose, such as watching a cricket match or a movie. Audiences are typically passive observers, but there are instances where they can become frenzied and transform into mobs. In mob situations, there is a clear sense of purpose and unity of action. The attention of individuals in the mob becomes polarized, and their actions are directed towards a common goal or objective. Mob behavior is characterized by a shared mindset and behavior, displaying homogeneity of thought and impulsive actions.
