Statement I If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant.
Statement II The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

  1. A Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement
  2. B Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I
  3. C Statement I is true, Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement I is false, Statement II is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If a force is applied at centre of mass of a rigid body, its torque about centre of mass will be zero, but acceleration will be non-zero. Hence, velocity will change.
\(\therefore\) Correct option is \((\mathrm{d})\).
