Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $\mathbf{A}$ and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$ Assertion A : The energy required to form $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ from $\mathrm{Mg}$ is much higher than that required to produce $\mathrm{Mg}^+$ Reason $\mathbf{R}: \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ is small ion and carry more charge than $\mathrm{Mg}^{+}$ In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $\mathbf{A}$ and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$

Assertion A : The energy required to form $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ from $\mathrm{Mg}$ is much higher than that required to produce $\mathrm{Mg}^+$

Reason $\mathbf{R}: \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ is small ion and carry more charge than $\mathrm{Mg}^{+}$

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

A is false but R is true

Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
