Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): A satellite moving in a circular orbit around the earth has a total energy \(E_0,\) then its potential energy is \(-E_0.\)
Reason (R): Potential energy of the body at a point in a gravitational field of orbit is \(\frac{-GMm}{R}\).
 
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.

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The gravitational potential energy associated with a particle-earth system depends on the vertical position (or height) of the particle relative to the reference position, not on the horizontal position.
Reason (R): For any height above earth's surface, the potential energy of the particle is mgh
