Select the correct option based on statements below:

 Assertion (A): The center of mass of an isolated system of particles remains at rest if it is initially at rest. Reason (R): Internal forces acting within a system cannot change the velocity of the center of mass which is proportional to the total momentum of the system.

 1 (A) is true but (R) is false. 2 (A) is false but (R) is true. 3 Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). 4 Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

A block of mass $$m$$ is placed atop another block of mass $$M,$$ and the combination is at rest on a smooth horizontal table. A force $$F_1$$ is applied to $$m$$ and another force $$F_2$$ is applied to $$M,$$ the two acting horizontally and in opposite directions. Consider the following statements about the acceleration $$(a_{cm})$$ of the centre of mass of the system). (Take right as positive)

(A) $$a_{cm}=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m+M},$$ if there is no friction acting between $$m$$ and $$M$$
(B) $$a_{cm}=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m+M},$$ if there is static friction between $$m$$ and $$M$$
(C) $$a_{cm}=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m+M},$$ in all situations

1.  only A is true.
2.  only B is true.
3.  C is true.
4.  A, B are true but C is false.
