Assertion: The centre of mass of a body may lie outside the body.
Reason: The centre of mass of a body depends on the distribution of mass in the body.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

Option A is correct because the center of mass depends on mass distribution, and it can indeed lie outside the body, such as in a ring.
