Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion According to Newton's second law, F=ma⇒a=F/m For constant F, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass i.e. acceleration produced by a force depends only upon the mass of the body and for larger mass, acceleration will be less.
