In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
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.
(A) is false but (R) is true.
