As we know that, Torque is the moment of force and torque (τ)=r×F where, r is distance between axis of rotation and force (F) . Also, τ=
dL
dt
and since, in space there is no external torque is applied so, τ=0 ∴ΔL=0=constant Hence, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) both are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
