Statement-1 : Moment of inertia of a particle is same, whatever be the axis of rotation.
Statement-2 : Moment of inertia depends on mass and perpendicular distance of the particle from its axis of rotation.

Options

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 reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer

D

Explanation

The moment of inertia of a particle about an axis of rotation is given by the product of the mass of the particle and the square of the perpendicular distance of the particle from the axis of rotation. For different axis, distance would be different, therefore moment of inertia of a particle changes with the change in axis of rotation.
