Assertion (A): Melting point of gallium is lesser than aluminum.
Reason (R): Due to the inert pair effect, increased effective nuclear charge holds ns-electrons tightly. 
 
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.
