Two balls $A$ and $B$ are thrown with same velocity $u$ from the top of a tower. Ball $A$ is thrown vertically upwards and the ball $B$ is thrown vertically downwards. If $t_A$ and $t_B$ are the respective times taken by the balls $A$ and $B$ respectively to reach the ground, then identify the correct statement
What is the number of significant figures in $3400$
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $R$. Assertion A : Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at $-273^{\circ} C$ temperature of cold reservoir.

Reason $R$ : The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as $\eta=\left(1-\frac{ T _2}{ T _1}\right)$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
