Charge Transfer between Conductors

Assertion (A): The whole charge of a conductor cannot be transferred to another conductor.
Reason (R): The total transfer of charge from one to another is not possible.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Both (A) and (R) are false. Charge can be completely transferred between conductors, for example, by induction or conduction, if placed inside a hollow conductor and connected.
