Assertion: On moon, barometer height will be six times compared to the height on earth.
Reason: Value of g on moon's surface is 1/6 the value of g on earth's surface.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
