The correct answer is: If assertion is true but reason is false.
Solubility of $\mathrm{AgCl}\left(\right.$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) in $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ $=0.0020 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{AgCl}$ per litre of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ Solubility of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ in $\mathrm{NH}_3$ (at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) $=14.00 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{AgCl}$ dissolved per $\mathrm{kg}$ of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ Ammonia is less polar than water, as oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.
