Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
In the circular motion the the direction of v changes as the direction changes the v changes but magnitude of v doesnt change.
therefore,When a body is moving uniformly in a circle, its momentum goes on changing continuously but its kinetic energy remains constant.
but,Momentum p=mv but K.E.=0.5mv2. In uniform circular motion v changes but v2 does not change.
Hence,assertion and reson are correct and reason is correct explanation
