Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Work done in moving a charge along the equatorial line of an electric dipole from the centre of the dipole through a distance equal to the length of the dipole is zero.
Reason (R): The Equatorial line of the electric dipole lies on the equipotential surface.
 
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.
