Assertion (A): A half filled bottle is more stable than a fully filled identical bottle when kept in upright position.
Reason (R): A half filled bottle has lesser mass than a fully filled bottle. (The fluid and bottles are identical).
Solution:
Assertion (A) is false because a fully-filled bottle has a lower center of gravity and lacks the destabilizing sloshing effect of a partially-filled bottle.
Reason (R) is true as a half-filled bottle naturally contains less mass
