Assertion: To conserve linear momentum of a system, no force should act on the system.
Reason: If net force on a system is zero, its linear momentum should remain constant.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
