Explanation

Ownership subject to a condition subsequent (where ownership continues until a specified condition occurs) creates VESTED ownership - the owner gets present title even though enjoyment may be limited by the condition. However, the Reason statement is FALSE because possession and ownership DO differ in their mode of acquisition - possession is factual/control-based, ownership is legal/title-based. Therefore, (A) is true but (R) is false.
