Assertion (A): In a circle, equal arcs suspend equal angles at the centre.
Reason (R): In the same circle, equal chords cuts off equal arc.
Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct reason (or explanation) for Assertion (A).

We know that,
Arcs of equal lengths subtends equal angles at the center of the circle.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
We know that,
The chords of equal length cut off equal arcs.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct reason (or explanation) for Assertion (A).
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
