1.	Assertion : The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value, when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of gravity. Reason : The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of gravity.
Answer» If both ASSERTION and reason are TRUE and reason is the CORRECT explanation of assertion. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion If assertion is true but reason is FALSE. If both assertion and reason are false. Solution :By theorem of PARALLEL axis both statements are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
