Detailed Solution

In case of uniform circular motion only , acceleration of the particle is directed towards the centre of circular path.In case of non-uniform circular motion , tangential acceleration is not zero and as a result resultant acceleration is not radially inward. So statement A is not a general statement Velocity always lies along the tangent drawn to the circular path at the location of the particle, So statement B is true.
