Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: A bar magnet dropped through a metallic cylindrical pipe takes more time to come down compared to a non-magnetic bar with same geometry and mass.
Reason R: For the magnetic bar, Eddy currents are produced in the metallic pipe which oppose the motion of the magnetic bar.

(A)A is true but R is false
(B)A is false but R is true
(C)Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(D)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
