For the reaction A + B products, it is observed that (i) on doubling the initial concentration of A only, the rate of reaction is also doubled and (ii) on doubling the initial concentration of both A and B, there is a change by a factor of 8 in the rate of the reaction. The rate of this reaction is given by

1. rate = k[A]2[B]2
2. rate = k[A][B]2
3. rate = k[A][B]
4. rate = k[A]2[B]
