Question
Assertion : An object can have constant speed but variable velocity.
Reason : Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.

Answer

(a) Since velocity is a vector quantity, hence as its direction changes keeping magnitude constant, velocity is said to bechanged. But for constant speed in equal time interval distance travelled should be equal.
