Assertion $(A)$ : $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}$ occurs more readily than the $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}$.
Reason $(R)$ : The partially bonded unhybridized p-orbital that develops in the trigonal bipyramidal transition state is stabilized by conjugation with the phenyl ring.
