In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In the analysis of rigid frames, the usual practice is to consider the strain energy due to flexure only.
Reason (R): The strain energies due to axial and shear forces are usually quite small compared to that of flexure.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Energy dissipation in hydraulic jump is mainly by the large eddies in turbulence.
Reason (R): Large eddies transport the fluid over large distance, thus causing the mixing effect of turbulence.
