Assertion : The moment of inertia of a r...

Assertion : The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value, when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of gravity.
Reason : The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of gravity.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
