Assertion: The torque due to a force always acts perpendicular to the force vector.
Reason:

\vec{\tau}=\vec{r} \times \overrightarrow{{F}}

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 (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because the torque is defined as the cross product of the position vector and the force vector, making it perpendicular to both.
