Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The rate in change of momentum is independent of mass and by Newton's second law of motion it is equivalent to the applied external force. While acceleration is force per unit mass, which is exactly same as the reason and hence (A) is true.
