Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air,its fragments fly in such a way that the centre of mass of the fragments continues to move along the same parabolic path that the firecracker would have followed had it not exploded.
Reason $(R)$: The explosion of a firecracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only,and no external force acts to cause this explosion.

• A
  Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
• B
  Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$.
• C
  $(A)$ is correct but $(R)$ is not correct.
• D
  $(A)$ is not correct but $(R)$ is correct.
