Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
When a person is high up on the ladder, than a large torque is produced due to his weight about the point of contact between the ladder and the floor. Whereas when he starts climbing up, the torque is small. Due to this reason, the ladder is more apt to slip, when one is high up on it.
