Assertion, A : CH2CICOOH is 100 times as strong as CH3COOH while CHC12COOH is still stronger. The CC13COOH is 10000 times stronger than ~H3COOH. Reasoning, R : Electron-withdrawing halogens strengthen the acids.

Hello!!!
Hope you are doing great!!!
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
More the electronegitivity of the halogens , more will be the acidity.So Acidity increases if number of halide ions increases.
Order of Acidity: CCL3COOH > CHCl2COOH >CH2ClCOOH > CH3COOH
Hope it helps you!!!
Thank you!!!
