Assertion (A): Components of a mixture of red and blue inks can be separated by distributing the components between stationary and mobile phases in paper chromatography.

Reason (R): The coloured components of inks migrate at different rates because paper selectively retains different components according to the difference in their partition between the two phases.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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