Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion PotentialEnergy=0.5kx2 When string is stretched x is -ve and during compression x=+ve. In either cases, work will be done by spring to restore itself to the original shape. Hence, this Potential Energy is the work done against its restoring force.
