Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The ratio of time taken for light emission from an atom to that for the release of nuclear energy in fission is 1:100.
Reason (R): Time taken for the light emission from an atom is of the order of 10-8s.
 
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).

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In the process of nuclear fission, the fragments emit two or three neutrons as soon as they are formed and subsequently emit particles.
Reason (R): As the fragments contain an excess of neutrons over protons, emission of neutrons and particles bring their neutron/proton ratio to stable values.
  
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.
