Assertion $(A)$: The $pH$ of a buffer solution containing equal moles of acetic acid and sodium acetate is $4.8$ ($pK_a$ of acetic acid is $4.8$).
Reason $(R)$: The ionic product of water at $25^{\circ} C$ is $10^{-14} \ mol^2 \cdot L^{-2}$. The correct answer is

• A
  Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
• B
  Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
• C
  $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is not true
• D
  $(A)$ is not true but $(R)$ is true
