Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Newton's third law states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction which acts on two different bodies." The magnitudes of action and reaction are equal and simultaneous, but they act in opposite directions and on two different bodies.
The correct statement would be that the action and reaction forces act on two different bodies.
