Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): With the increase in substrate concentration, the velocity of the enzymatic reaction rises at first but ultimately reaches a maximum velocity which is not exceeded by any further rise in concentration of the substrate.
Reason (R): The enzyme molecules are fewer than the substrate molecules and after saturation of these molecules, there are no free enzyme molecules to bind with the additional substrate molecules.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A)
3. (A) is False but (R) is True
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
