Assertion : Even when orbit of a satellite is elliptical, its plane of rotation passes through the centre of earth.
Reason : According to law of conservation of angular momentum plane of rotation of satellite always

Options

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 correct explanation of Assertion
C. If Assertion is ture but Reason is false
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer

A

Explanation

As no torque is acting on the planet its angular momentum must stay constant in magnitude as well as direction. Therefore, plane of rotation must pass through the centre of the earth.
