State if the following statement is True or False:
``Clustering Techniques apply when the instances are to be divided into natural groups.''
Assertion (A) : In real-life scenarios, a small RMSE value indicates a better model fit to the data and higher accuracy.
Reason (R) : A large RMSE value suggests that the model fits the data well.
