P (-2, 5) and Q (2, -1) are two points on the coordinate plane.

Two statements are given below - one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Read the statements carefully and choose the option that correctly describes statements (A) and (R).

Assertion (A): The midpoint (0, 2) is the only point equidistant from P and Q.

Reason (R): There are many points (x, y) where (x + 2)2 + (y - 5)2 = (x - 2)2 + (y + 1)2 are equidistant from P and Q.

(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A).

(b) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).

(c) (A) is true but (R) is false.

(d) (A) is false but (R) is true.
