Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
 
Assertion (A):  The lightning conductor at the top of high building has sharp pointed ends.
Reason (R): The surface density of charge at sharp points is very high resulting in setting up of electric wind.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 
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.
