Assertion (A): By definition, pure rolling of a body occurs when velocity of its point of contact is zero relative to the surface on which it rolls.
Reason (R): A body is purely rolling (rolling without slipping). The velocity of point of contact (of body) must be zero with respect to ground.
Solution:
Pure rolling is fundamentally defined by the condition that there is no relative motion (slipping) between the contact point of the rolling body and the surface it rolls on. This means their relative velocity must be zero.
Both A and R state this definition/condition, with R reinforcing A. Thus, both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.
