Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is possible to make calculations of the net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised; but in reality this can remain only a theoretical exercise.
Reason (R): These calculations can be made only on certain assumptions that are not really valid in a living system.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False
4. (A) is False but (R) is True
