A statement of Assertion \((A)\) is followed by a statement of Reason \((R)\). 
 
Choose the correct option
 
Assertion (A):
 
Consider the cryptarithm: \(AB + AB + AB = CAA\)

The digit represented by \(A\) must be the same in both the tens and units place of the sum because each letter represents a fixed digit throught the cryptarithm.
 
Reason (R): When solving a cryptarithm, each column must be evaluated from left to right, carrying any overflow to the next column while keeping the value of every letter unchanged.
