Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate maintains a constant value of pH on the addition of small amounts of acid or alkali.
Reason (R): A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate acts as a buffer solution. 
 
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.

Which combination of the following substances will result in the formation of an acidic buffer when mixed?
1. Weak acid and it's salt with a strong base.
2. Equal volumes of equimolar solutions of weak acid and weak base.
3. Strong acid and its salt with a strong base.
4. Strong acid and its salt with a weak base.
(The pKa of acid = pKb of the base)
