Assertion: The centre of mass of a system of two particles of unequal masses is closer to the heavier particle.
Reason: The centre of mass of a system of two particles divides the distance between the particles in the inverse ratio of their masses.

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 assertion and reason are both true, and the reason correctly explains why the center of mass is closer to the heavier particle.
