Solution
The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. If there was no damping in the swing, the swing would move with larger and larger amplitudes. However, most physical systems have damping, which limits the size of the amplitude. If you don not have damping the amplitudes will go to infinity.
So, Assertion and reason both are true. But reason is not current explanation for the assertion.
