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=maa=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.
