Assertion $(A)$: The moment of inertia of a steel sphere is larger than the moment of inertia of a wooden sphere of the same radius.
Reason $(R)$: Moment of inertia is independent of the mass of the body.
The correct one is:

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true, and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true, and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is wrong
  • D
