Assertion : Pressure can be subracted from pressure gradient.
Reason : Because both have the same dimensions.

A

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

B

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

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(d)
Pressure gradient `=(dP)/(dx) = (ML^(-1)T^(-2))/(L)`
`=M^1 L^(-2) T^(-2),`
which are not the dimensions of pressure. Therefore, pressure cannot be subtracted from pressure gradient.
