Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Newton's third law does not apply to a system in which bodies do not truly touch because the two bodies are not touching. And if the bodies are not in touch with one other, there is no action or reaction. According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Both action and reaction have an effect on two distinct objects. Newton's third law applies to both a body at rest and a body in motion.
The corrected statement would be that Newton's third law is applicable if the bodies are in contact with each other.
