Assertion $A$: Enol form of acetone $[CH_{3}COCH_{3}]$ exists in $< 0.1 \%$ quantity. However,the enol form of acetylacetone $[CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}]$ exists in approximately $15 \%$ quantity.
Reason $R$: Enol form of acetylacetone is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding,which is not possible in the enol form of acetone. Choose the correct statement:
