Analyzing +4 | -1

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 (Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I) is correct because both statements are true and Statement II explains Statement I.
