Assertion: To floats, a body must displace liquid whose weight is greater than actual weight of the body.
Reason: The body will experience no net downward force in that case.

A

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

B

If both assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
