Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): In Young's double-slit experiment the two slits are at a distance apart. The interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance D from the slits and a dark fringe is observed. The wavelength of the wave is proportional to the square of the distance between two slits.
Reason (R): For a dark fringe, intensity is zero.
  
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. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Assertion: For best contrast between maxima and minima in the interference pattern of Young's double slit experiment, the intensity of light emerging out of the two slits should be equal.
Reason: The intensity of the interference pattern is proportional to square of amplitude.

1. Both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but the reason is false.
4. Both the assertion and reason are false.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false
