Statement-I: Gravitational torque due to weight of a body about its centre of gravity is zero.

Statement-II: In the absence of external torque the angular momentum of a body changes.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false

Option A (Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false) is correct because gravitational torque about the center of gravity is zero, and angular momentum is conserved in the absence of external torque.
