Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate maintains a constant value of pH on the addition of small amounts of acid or alkali.
Reason (R): A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate acts as a buffer solution. 
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
