Assertion : For a satellite revolving ...

Assertion : For a satellite revolving very near to earth’s surface the time period of revolution is given by 1 hour 24 minutes.
Reason : The period of revolution of a satellite depends only upon its height above the earth’s surface.

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 the assertion and reason both are false
