Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): The speed of whirlwind in a tornado is alarmingly high.
Reason (R): If no external torque acts on a body, its angular velocity remains conserved.
 
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.
