Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

When water is whirled fast, its drops move in a circular motion with high velocity, generating huge centripetal force. The water droplets at the top of the circular path do not fall out as this centripetal force becomes greater than the gravitational force, i.e., weight of water. Hence, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is a correct explanation.
