Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. The force which the ball exert on our hand times the duration of force is equal to the change in momentum . F×Δt=Δp So by increasing the duration we are reducing the effect of force on our hand.
