Solution

The correct option is B Both 1 and 2 are true and 2 is not correct explanation of 1
Centripetal force and centrifugal force are equal and opposite.
Centripetal force is real force where as centrifugal force is pseudo force.
According to the newton's third law of motion every force will have equal and opposite force of reaction.
Centripetal force and centrifugal forces are not action-reaction pair, they are two different forces. One is pseudo and another is real force.
