Question
$Assertion :$ The amplitude of an oscillating pendulum decreases gradually with time
$Reason :$ The frequency of the pendulum decreases with time.
$Reason :$ The frequency of the pendulum decreases with time.

Answer
The amplitude of an oscillating pendulum decreases with time due to friction of air. In absence of air, its frequency and amplitude will remain constant.
