Question
Assertion : A body, whatever its motion is always at rest in a frame of reference which is fixed to the body itself.
Reason : The relative velocity of a body with respect to itself is zero.

Answer

(a) A body has no relative motion with respect to itself. Hence if a frame of reference of the body is fixed, then the body will be always at relative rest in this frame of reference.
