The synchronous motor is an induction motor.
Synchronous Motor
An AC motor that operates at a speed synchronized with the frequency of the supply current; its rotor speed matches the frequency of the stator's rotating magnetic field.
Induction Motor
An induction motor is a type of electric motor that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where the rotating magnetic field induces current in the rotor.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
A synchronous motor operates at a constant speed at a given frequency, whereas an induction motor does not necessarily operate at a constant speed and its speed varies with load.
