(A) : On a curved path average speed of a particle can never be equal to average velocity.
(R) : Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time. Whereas average velocity is, final velocity plus initial velocity divided by two.

Detailed Solution

On a curved path, the path length will always be larger than the displacement. Hence, the average speed will be larger than the average velocity.

Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time. Whereas, average velocity is total displacement divided by total time.
