Question

Action and reaction forces never balance out. Because -

• A. they act on different bodies.
• B. they are unequal in magnitude, even though opposite in direction.
• C. they are equal but not opposite always.
• D. they are unequal in magnitudes.

Answer 1

The correct option is A they act on different bodies.

Action and reaction exist in pair and are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

But they act on different bodies, hence they cannot balance each other.

Hence, option $\left(C\right)$ is the correct answer.
