Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A).$

(D) Interhalogen compounds are generally more reactive than halogens because the bond between two different halogens $(X-X')$ is weaker than the bond between two similar halogens $(X-X)$,except for $F_{2}$.Since the $I-Cl$ bond is weaker than the $I-I$ bond,$ICl$ is more reactive than $I_{2}$.Therefore,both Assertion $(A)$ and Reason $(R)$ are correct,and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
