Answer:
Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
Explanation:
A wasp sting can be treated by vinegar. Vinegar includes acetic acid. But the reason given is false. Wasp's sting doesn't contain formic acid, it is alkaline. As the wasp's sting is alkaline, vinegar being a weak acid neutralizes the sting effect.
