Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value as compared to any other parallel axis when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of mass.
Reason $(R)$: The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of mass in a uniform gravitational field.
