Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): A body continues to be in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. | Reason (R): The state of rest or uniform linear motion implies zero acceleration.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
