Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :


Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one dimensional motion as shown in figure with initial velocities \(v_{\mathrm{A}}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{C}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then \(v_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), \(v_{\mathrm{C}}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) will be the final velocities.

Reason (R): In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. A (A) is false but (R) is true
2. B Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
3. C Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
4. D (A) is true but (R) is false
