Equilibrium State of Balloon

Assertion (A): Bursting of balloon is not a equilibrium state.
Reason (R): Equilibrium state of a thermodynamic system is completely described by specific values of some macroscopic properties.
 
(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Concept: Thermodynamic equilibrium. A bursting balloon is a spontaneous, non-equilibrium process. An equilibrium state is characterized by constant macroscopic properties. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and (R) correctly explains (A).
