Solution

The correct option is A The action and reaction forces act in opposite directions.
According to Newton’s third law of motion, to every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. The action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. They exist in pair. They always act on two different interacting objects.


Thus, statement (1) is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
