    Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$

    Assertion $A$ : A spherical body of radius $(5 \pm 0.1)$ $mm$ having a particular density is falling through a liquid of constant density. The percentage error in the calculation of its terminal velocity is $4\,\%$.

    Reason $R$ : The terminal velocity of the spherical body falling through the liquid is inversely proportional to its radius.
