1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

A particle is moving such that its position coordinates \((x,y)\) are \((2\) m, \(3\) m) at time \(t=0,\) \((6\) m, \(7\) m) at time \(t=2\) s and \((13\) m, \(14\) m) at time \(t=5\) s. Average velocity vector \((v_{avg})\) from \(t=0\) to \(t=5\) s is:

1. \(\frac{1}{5}\left ( 13\hat{i}+14\hat{j} \right )\) 2. \(\frac{7}{3}\left ( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right )\)
3. \(2\left ( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right )\) 4. \(\frac{11}{5}\left ( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right )\)

Two particles \(A\) and \(B\), move with constant velocities \(\overrightarrow{v_1}\) and \(\overrightarrow{v_2}\). At the initial moment their position vector are \(\overrightarrow {r_1}\) and \(\overrightarrow {r_2}\) respectively. The condition for particles \(A\) and \(B\) for their collision to happen will be:

1. \(\overrightarrow{r_{1  }} . \overrightarrow{v_{1}}   = \overrightarrow{r_{2  }} . \overrightarrow{v_{2}}\) 2. \(\overrightarrow{r_{1}} \times\overrightarrow{v_{1}}   = \overrightarrow{r_{2}} \times \overrightarrow {v_{2}}\)
3. \(\overrightarrow{r_{1}}-\overrightarrow{r_{2}}=\overrightarrow{v_{1}} - \overrightarrow{v_{2}}\) 4. \(\frac{\overrightarrow{r_{1}} - \overrightarrow{r_{2}}}{\left|\overrightarrow{r_{1}} -  \overrightarrow{r_{2}}\right|} =   \frac{\overrightarrow{v_{2}} -  \overrightarrow{v_{1}}}{\left|\overrightarrow{v_{2}} -   \overrightarrow{v_{1}}\right|}\)
