NEET Physics Question - Center of Mass , Momentum and Collision

Assertion (A): Centre of mass of a body in pure rolling on a horizontal surface always moves in a straight line.

Reason (R): Centre of mass of a body must be inside the body.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; the center of mass of a body in pure rolling on a horizontal surface moves along a straight line (rectilinear motion). Reason (R) is false; the center of mass can be outside the physical boundaries of the body (e.g., for a ring or a hollow sphere).
