Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
$Assertion$ $(A)$: The angular speed of the moon in its orbit about the earth is more than the angular speed of the earth in its orbit about the sun.
$Reason$ $(R)$: The moon takes less time to move around the earth than the time taken by the earth to move around the sun.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Three particles of equal mass $m$ are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $l$. They are moving in a circle under the influence of their mutual gravitational interaction. Then their time period of revolution is directly proportional to

State whether the following statements are true or false:
