Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect. Moment of inertia need not be constant, for example the body may be losing mass during the experiment, or the distances between the particles may be changing during the experiment. Angular momentum is constant when the net torque on the system is zero and even in that case it does not dictate that the moment of inertia be constant.
Therefore, both assertion and reason are incorrect.
