Assertion (A): Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Reason (R): Acidic/basic nature of a salt solution of a salt of a weak acid and weak base depends on Ka and Kb value of the acid and the base forming it.
(i) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(ii) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(iii) A is true, but R is false.
