Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R. Assertion A : Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid, and both have the same radii. Solid sphere will have lower charge than the hollow one. Reason R : Capacitance of metallic spheres depend on the radii of spheres In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Question

Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A : Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid, and both have the same radii. Solid sphere will have lower charge than the hollow one.

Reason R : Capacitance of metallic spheres depend on the radii of spheres

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

Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true but $\mathbf{R}$ is not the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$

Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$

$\mathbf{A}$ is false but $\mathbf{R}$ is true

$\mathbf{A}$ is true but $\mathbf{R}$ is false
