Assertion: If two different axes are at same distance from centre of mass of a rigid body, then moment of inertia of the given rigid body about both axes will always be same.
Reason: A thin uniform rod is undergoing fixed axis rotation about one of its ends with variable angular acceleration. Then, the acceleration vector of any two moving points on the rod cannot be parallel at an instant of time.
