Solution

  • Yes, it is true that every force is balanced by equal and opposite force.
  • In this case, action and reaction won't act on the same body, instead they act on different bodies.
  • As action and reaction are not acting on the same body, the resultant force acting on each object won't be zero and motion takes place in the body.
