Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Total momentum of an isolated system of particles is conserved.
Reason (R): Total momentum of a system of particles cannot change due to interactions within the system, since these are action-reaction pairs. Therefore, in the absence of external force, momentum is conserved.
 
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.

A \(50 ~\text{kg}\) skater, initially at rest on a frictionless ice rink, throws a \(2~\text{kg}\) ball with a speed of \(10~\text{m/s}.\) What is the velocity of the skater immediately after throwing the ball?
 
1. \(0.4~\text{m/s}\) in the same direction as the ball.
2. \(0.4~\text{m/s}\) in the opposite direction of the ball.
3. \(2~\text{m/s}\) in the same direction as the ball.
4. \(4~\text{m/s}\) in the same direction as the ball.
