NEET Physics Question - Rotational Motion

Assertion (A): A wheel moving down a perfectly frictionless inclined plane will undergo slipping (not rolling).

Reason (R): For pure rolling, work done against frictional force is zero.

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

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

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; friction provides the torque for rolling. Without friction, the wheel slips. Reason (R) is true; in pure rolling, the contact point is stationary, so static friction does no work. However, (R) does not explain (A).
