Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A : An electric fan continues to rotate for some time after the current is switched off.

Reason R: Fan continues to rotate due to inertia of motion.

In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below.

Question Image

Beaker A contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker B by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis TT ball, is held submerged in beaker C by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker D contains same sized TT ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings wA, wB, wC and wD for A, B, C and D respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.
