A wheel is rotating about an axis through its centre at \(720\) r.p.m. It is acted upon by a constant torque opposing its motion for \(8\) seconds to bring it to rest finally. The value of torque in N-m is: (given \(I\) = $\frac{24}{\mathrm{\pi }}$ kg ${\mathrm{m}}^2$)

Assertion : The speed of whirlwind in a tornado is alarmingly high.

Reason    : If no external torque acts on a body, its angular velocity remains conserved.

1. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

3. If assertion is true but reason is false.

4. If both assertion and reason are false.

A circular disc A of radius r is made from an iron plate of thickness t and another circular disc B of radius 2r and thickness $\frac{\mathrm{t}}{4}$. The relation between moments of inertia ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{B}}$ is
