$\mathrm{Assertion}:$ Carboxylic acids have a carbonyl group, but they do not give the test of the carbonyl group.

$\mathrm{Reason}:$ Due to resonance, the double bond character of carbonyl group is greatly reduced.

$\mathrm{Assertion}:$The order of base catalysed hydrolysis of ester is

(1) ${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{COOCH}}_3>{\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{COOC}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5>{\mathrm{CH}}_3-\mathrm{COOCH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2$

(2) 

$\mathrm{Reason}:$ ${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{N}}2$ The reaction is sterically as well as electronically controlled reaction.

$\mathrm{Assertion}:$ Acid catalysed hydrolysis of ester is reversible while base catalysed hydrolysis is irreversible.

$\mathrm{Reason}:$ In acid catalysèd ester hydrolysis carboxylic acid is formed on which nucleophilic attack of alcohol is possible but in base catalysed ester hydrolysis carboxylate anion is formed on which nucleophilic attack is not possible.
