Question

Mark the correct choice as: a. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. b. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. c. If assertion is true but reason is false. d. If assertion is false but reason is true. Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them. Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity it does not depend the direction. 2. Assertion: The Speedometer of a car or a motor-cycle measures the average speed of it. Reason: Average velocity is equal to total displacement divided by total time taken. 3. Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.

Answer 1

Answer: Well the most rookie mistake that people make is this. They argue that if the assertion and the reason sound similar, the option must be A. In other words, the reason must be the correct explanation of the assertion. Let us first check the statements. The first statement presents a strong opinion or in other words, a blanket opinion. Such opinions are often not correct. For example, if someone says that all insects are small, the statement is incorrect. rather if you say insects are small, the statement is genuine.
