Assertion-Reason on Equilibrium of a Body

Assertion: A body is in translational equilibrium if the net force on it is zero.
Reason: A body is in rotational equilibrium if the net torque on it about any one point becomes zero.
 
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Assertion is false and Reason is true.

Solution:

Translational equilibrium requires net force to be zero. Rotational equilibrium requires net torque to be zero. Both statements are true but independent definitions.
