When a uranium isotope \(_{92}^{235}\mathrm{U}\) is bombarded with a neutron, it generates \(_{36}^{89}\mathrm{Kr}\), three neutrons and:
1. \(_{40}^{91}\mathrm{Zr}\) 2. \(_{36}^{101}\mathrm{Kr}\)
3. \(_{36}^{103}\mathrm{Kr}\) 4. \(_{56}^{144}\mathrm{Ba}\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In the process of nuclear fission, the fragments emit two or three neutrons as soon as they are formed and subsequently emit particles.
Reason (R): As the fragments contain an excess of neutrons over protons, emission of neutrons and particles bring their neutron/proton ratio to stable values.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature because:
 
1. atoms get ionized at high temperature
2. kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between nuclei
3. molecules break up at high temperature
4. nuclei break up at high temperature
