Assertion: The centre of gravity of a bo...

Assertion: The centre of gravity of a body coincides with its centre of mass only if the gravitational field does not vary form one part of the body to the other.
Reason: Centre of gravity is independent of the gravitational field.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution
