Assertion: Vehicle carrying highly inflammable materials have hanging chains, slightly touching the ground.
Reason: The body of a vehicle gets charged when moving through air at high speed.

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 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:
a
It is true that body of vehicle is charged, when the vehivle is moving through air at high speed Because of it, the vehicles, which are carrying highly inflammable material, have hanging chains, which touch slightly the ground. This chain trandfers the charge to the ground (earth). Hence there is no harm to the vehicle.

Read the following passage and answer the item that follow. PASSAGE-II On a surface which is free from obstacles, such as a clear road or a path, only two or three species of snakes can hope to catch up with a human being, even if they are foolish to try. A snake seems to move very fast but its movements are deceptive. In spite of the swift, wave-like motions of its body, the snake crawls along the ground at no more than the speed of man's walk. It may, however, have an advantage inside a jungle, where the progress of a man is obstructed by thorny bushes. But in such places, the footsteps of a man are usually more than enough to warn snakes to keep away. Although they have no ears of the usual kind, they can feel slight vibrations of the ground through their bodies, and thus get an early warning of danger. What helps the snakes to receive advance warning is their sensitivity to :

Assertion : In a uniform circular motion, the linear speed and angular speed of the body are constant. Reason : A body can move on a circular path without having acceleration.

Assertion : A body may be accelerated even when it is moving uniformly. Reason : When direction of motion of the body is changing then body may have acceleration

Assertion: Very small animals are rarely found in polar regions. Reason: Smaller animals have larger area to volume ratio, they tend to lose heat very fast when it is cold outside then they have to expend much energy to generate body heat through metabolism.
