Question
Assertion : Work done by or against gravitational force in moving a body from one point to another is independent of the actual path followed between the two points.
Reason : Gravitational forces are conservative forces.

Answer

(a) From, definition, work done in moving a body against a conservative force is independent of the path followed.
