Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If the sun were to 'suddenly' be removed, then the earth would continue to move around in its orbit.
Reason (R): Angular momentum of a system of particles is conserved when there is no external torque.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

A particle of mass \(m\) moves with a constant velocity along \(3\) different paths, \(DE, OA\) and \(BC\). Which of the following statements is not correct about its angular momentum about point \(O\)?

                     

1. It is zero when it is at \(A\) and moving along \(OA\).
2. The same at all points along the line \(DE\).
3. Of the same magnitude but oppositely directed at \(B\) and \(D\).
4. Increases as it moves along the line \(BC\).

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If the ice cap of the pole melts, the day length will shorten.
Reason (R): Ice flows towards the equator and decreases the moment of inertia of the earth. This increases the frequency of rotation of the earth.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.

Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): The period of Earth’s rotation undergoes very small, irregular (sporadic) variations.
Reason (R): The displacement of large air masses in the Earth’s atmosphere alters its moment of inertia, thereby causing slight changes in its rotation period.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
