Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A):$ Time period of a simple pendulum is longer at the top of a mountain than that at the base of the mountain.
Reason $(R):$ Time period of a simple pendulum decreases with increasing value of acceleration due to gravity and vice-versa.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A).$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A).$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
