Statement I: Total torque on a system is independent of
the origin if the total external force is zero.
Statement II: Torque due to a couple is independent of
the origin.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is
the correct explanation for Statement I

Option A is correct. If the net external force is zero, the total torque is independent of the origin, and the torque due to a couple is always independent of the origin, explaining the first statement.
