Answer

The longer the chord, the closer it is to the center.

The shorter the chord, the farther it is from the center.

Assertion (A) is false.

If two chords are equidistant from the center, they must be equal in length, but they do not have to be necessarily parallel.

Reason (R) is false.

Both A and R are false.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
