(C) Consider the integral $I_n = \int \cot^n x \, dx$.We can write this as $I_n = \int \cot^{n-2} x \cdot \cot^2 x \, dx$.Using the identity $\cot^2 x = \csc^2 x - 1$,we get:$I_n = \int \cot^{n-2} x (\csc^2 x - 1) \, dx = \int \cot^{n-2} x \csc^2 x \, dx - \int \cot^{n-2} x \, dx$.For the first part,let $u = \cot x$,then $du = -\csc^2 x \, dx$,so $\csc^2 x \, dx = -du$.Thus,$\int \cot^{n-2} x \csc^2 x \, dx = -\int u^{n-2} \, du = -\frac{u^{n-1}}{n-1} = \frac{-\cot^{n-1} x}{n-1}$.Therefore,the reduction formula is $I_n = \frac{-\cot^{n-1} x}{n-1} - I_{n-2}$.Comparing this with Reason $(R)$,the formula in $(R)$ has $n$ in the denominator instead of $n-1$,so $(R)$ is false.For Assertion $(A)$,using the correct formula for $n=6$:$I_6 = \frac{-\cot^5 x}{5} - I_4 \implies I_6 + I_4 = \frac{-\cot^5 x}{5}$.Thus,Assertion $(A)$ is true and Reason $(R)$ is false.

Assertion $(A)$: If $I_n = \int \cot^n x \, dx$,then $I_6 + I_4 = \frac{-\cot^5 x}{5}$.
Reason $(R)$: $\int \cot^n x \, dx = \frac{-\cot^{n-1} x}{n-1} - \int \cot^{n-2} x \, dx$.
