Answer
The reason states, two triangles are congruent if and only if they have same shape and size.
This statement is the precise definition of congruent triangles. Congruence means that one triangle can be perfectly superimposed on the other, covering it exactly.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
If corresponding sides are equal, for example, if side AB of the first triangle corresponds to side DE of the second triangle, and they are equal in length (AB = DE), then their ratio is = 1. This applies to all pairs of corresponding sides.
Therefore, the ratio of corresponding sides is indeed 1 : 1.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct reason (or explanation) for Assertion (A).
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
