NEET Physics Question - Rotational Motion - Angular Momentum and Conservation of Angular Momentum

Assertion (A): If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the center of mass remains constant.

Reason (R): The angular momentum of a system always remains constant.

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

Assertion (A) is false; constant COM velocity requires zero net external force, not zero external torque.

Reason (R) is false; angular momentum is conserved only when net external torque is zero.
