Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The range of a horizontal projectile is maximum when the angle of projection is \(\mathit{\theta}=45^\circ.\)
Reason (R): The range is maximum when \(\mathrm{sin (2\theta})=1.\)
  
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.
