Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
For a particle in SHM , the relation between the force and the displacement is: F=Kx
But in the reason, it is given that F=Gm1m2/r2 which is also true but does not satisfy the assertion.
