The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided, we will break down the concepts of action and reaction as per Newton's Third Law of Motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement A**: - Statement A claims that "Action and reaction act on two different bodies." - According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body. - Since these forces act on different bodies, Statement A is **correct**. 2. **Understanding Statement B**: - Statement B states that "Action and reaction never cancel each other." - Since action and reaction forces act on different bodies, they cannot cancel each other out. Cancellation of forces can only occur when they act on the same body. Therefore, since action and reaction forces act on different bodies, they do not cancel each other. - Hence, Statement B is also **correct**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Both statements A and B are correct based on the principles of Newton's Third Law of Motion. ### Final Answer: Both Statement A and Statement B are correct. ---
