  • A
    $\frac{l}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{l}{2}$
  • C

$Assertion$ : $A$ judo fighter,in order to throw his opponent onto the mat,tries to initially bend his opponent and then rotate him around his hip.
$Reason$ : As the mass of the opponent is brought closer to the fighter's hip,the moment of inertia of the opponent about the axis of rotation decreases,which makes it easier to rotate the opponent.
