The position-time \((x\text-t)\) graphs for two children \(A\) and \(B\) returning from their school \(O\) to their homes \(P\) and \(Q\) respectively are shown in the graph. 
         
 
Choose the incorrect statement:

1. \(B\) reaches home faster than \(A.\)
2. \(B\) overtakes \(A\) on the road twice.
3. \(B\) walks faster than \(A.\)
4. \(A\) lives closer to the school than \(B.\)
