Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Two identical balls A and B thrown with the same velocity ‘u’ at two different angles with horizontal attained the same range R. If A and B reached the maximum height h1 and h2 respectively, then \(\mathrm{R}=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{h}_1 \mathrm{~h}_2}\)
Reason (R): Product of said heights, 
\(\mathrm{h}_1 \mathrm{~h}_2=\left(\frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 \mathrm{~g}}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{2 \mathrm{~g}}\right)\)
 
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.
