Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): The radius vector from the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time and thus areal velocity of planet is constant.

Reason (R): For a central force field the angular momentum is a constant.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A

(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

B

Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

D

(A) is correct but (R) is not correct

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$

Assertion A : The kinetic energy needed to project a body of mass $m$ from earth surface to infinity is $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mgR}$, where R is the radius of earth.

Reason R : The maximum potential energy of a body is zero when it is projected to infinity from earth surface.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

A
$\mathbf{A}$ is false but $\mathbf{R}$ is true
B
Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$
C
$\mathbf{A}$ is true but $\mathbf{R}$ is false
D
Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true but $\mathbf{R}$ is NOT the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$
