When ethyl acetate was hydrolysed in pressure of 0.1 M HCl, the rate constant was found to be 5.40 x 10-5 sec-1 . But when 0.05 M H2SO4 was used for hydrolysis, the rate constant was found to be 6.25 X10-5sec-1. Thus, it may be concluded that:

1. H2SO4 is stronger than HCI

2. H2SO4 is weaker than HCl

3. H2SO4 and HCl both have the same strength

4. The data are not sufficient to compare the strength of H2SO4 and HCI

Select the correct option based on statements below:

Assertion (A): The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst.
Reason (R): A catalyst participating in the reaction forms a different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of the reactant and the product remains the same.
 
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.
