Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other as Reason (R) : Assertion (A) : A person standing on a rotating stage, suddenly slows down the stage by spreading his arms. Reason (R) : By spreading arms of a person, its moment of inertia increases and angular velocity decreases. Select the correct answer.
