The colour of colloidel solution depends on the wavelength of light scattered by the dispersed particles.

The wavelength of light further depends on the size and nature of the particles. The colour of colloidal solution also changes with the manner in which the observer receives the light. Finest gold is red in colour, as the size of particles increases. It appears purple, than blue and finally golden.

So, Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Hence, Option (1) is correct.
