Assertion: A sphere cannot roll on a smooth inclined surface.
Reason: The motion of a rigid body which is pivoted or fixed in some way is rotation.

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

The correct Answer is:
B
A sphere cannot roll on a smooth inclined plane, because force of friction is zero for smooth surface and in case of sphere friction the torque for rolling.
