Assertion (A): Wet air is heavier than dry air.

Reason (R): The density of dry air is more than density of water.

Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct
Wet air is lighter than dry air because water vapor (H2O) has a lower molar mass than the average molar mass of dry air (mostly N2 and O2). The reason is correct that dry air is denser than water, but this doesn't explain why wet air is lighter.
