Assertion $(A):$ The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose, pipe tends to spread like a fountain when held vertically up but tends to narrow down when held vertically down.

Reason $(R):$ In any steady flow of an incompressible fluid, the volume flow rate of the fluid remains constant.
