A flat surface of a thin uniform disk A of radius R is glued to a horizontal table. Another thin uniform disk B of mass M and with the same radius R rolls without slipping on the circumference of A, as shown in the figure. A flat surface of B also lies on the plane of the table. The center of mass of B has fixed angular speed ω about the vertical axis passing through the center of A. The angular momentum of B is nMωR2 with respect to the center of A. Which of the following is the value of n?

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions you are required to choose any one of the following five responses.

Assertion: A solid sphere cannot roll without slipping on smooth horizontal surface.

Reason: If the sphere is left free on smooth inclined surface, it cannot roll without slipping.
