    Below are two statements. One is labeled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other as Reason $(R).$

    Assertion $(A):$ The property of an object that allows it to regain its original shape after the external force applied to it is removed is called elasticity.

    Reason $(R):$ The restoring force depends on the intermolecular and interatomic forces in a solid.

    In the context of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

    In figure, two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Imagine a situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside an elevator that can move only in the vertical direction and compare the situation with the case when it is placed on the ground. When the elevator accelerates downward with $a_0( < g)$, then

    In the arrangement shown in the figure, mass of the block $B$ and $A$ is $2m$ and $m$ respectively. Surface between $B$ and floor is smooth. The block $B$ is connected to the block $C$ by means of a string pulley system. If the whole system is released, then find the minimum value of mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary $w.r.t. B$. Coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$

    As shown in the figure, a block of mass $\sqrt{3}\, kg$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction $\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. The critical force to be applied on the vertical surface as shown at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with horizontal such that it does not move, will be $3 x$. The value of $3x$ will be

    $\left[ g =10 m / s ^{2} ; \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ; \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right]$
