Option 1 states that both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are individually true, and R is the correct explanation of A. Let`s analyze the given Assertion and Reason to determine if this option is correct.

Assertion (A) states that the safety air bags fitted in some cars inflate during a head-on impact of the car. This statement is generally true. Airbags are designed to inflate rapidly during a collision to provide cushioning and reduce the impact force on the occupants.

Reason (R) states that the inflation is due to pumping of air into the balloon during the impact. This statement is not entirely accurate. Airbags do not work by pumping air into the balloon during the impact. Instead, they work by a chemical reaction that produces gas and rapidly inflates the airbag.

Therefore, while both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are individually true, Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Option 1 is incorrect.

The correct answer is option 2, which states that both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are individually true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. The inflation of airbags is not due to pumping air into the balloon during the impact, but rather a result of a chemical
