Assertion (A): The point which divides the line segment joining the points $A (1, 2)$ and $B(-1, 1)$ internally in the ratio $1: 2$ is $(-\frac{1}{3}, \frac{5}{3})$.
Reason (R): The coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points $A (x_1, y_1)$ and $B(x_2, y_2)$ in the ratio $m_1: m_2$ are $(\frac{m_1x_2 + m_2x_1}{m_1 + m_2}, \frac{m_1y_2 + m_2y_1}{m_1 + m_2})$
Reason (R): The coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points $A (x_1, y_1)$ and $B(x_2, y_2)$ in the ratio $m_1: m_2$ are $(\frac{m_1x_2 + m_2x_1}{m_1 + m_2}, \frac{m_1y_2 + m_2y_1}{m_1 + m_2})$
