$Assertion$ : If a body is thrown upwards, the distance covered by it in the last second of upward motion is about $5\, m$ irrespective of its initial speed
$Reason$ : The distance covered in the last second of upward motion is equal to that covered in the first second of downward motion when the particle is dropped.
