Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If an electric dipole of dipole moment $30 \times 10^{-5} \, Cm$ is enclosed by a closed surface,the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.
Reason $R$: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two short electric dipoles $A$ and $B$ having dipole moments $p_1$ and $p_2$ respectively are placed with their axes mutually perpendicular as shown in the figure. The resultant electric field at a point $x$ makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the line joining points $O$ and $x$. The ratio of the dipole moments $p_2/p_1$ is . . . . . . .

An electric dipole has a charge of magnitude $q$ and a dipole moment $p$. It is placed in a uniform electric field $E$. If its dipole moment is aligned with the direction of the electric field, the force acting on it and its potential energy will be, respectively:

An electric dipole of moment $\overrightarrow{p} = (-\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) \times 10^{-29} \; C \cdot m$ is at the origin $(0, 0, 0)$. The electric field due to this dipole at $\overrightarrow{r} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$ (note that $\overrightarrow{r} \cdot \overrightarrow{p} = 0$) is parallel to
