Assertion: An object of mass `m_1` and another of mass `m_2(m_2gtm_1)` are released from certain distance. The objects move towards each other under the gravitational force between them. In this motion, centre of mass of their system will continuously move towards the heavier mass `m_2`.
Reason: In a system of a heavier and a lighter mass, centre of mass lies closer to the heavier mass.
