Assertion : The rotation of the earth ab...

Assertion `:` The rotation of the earth about its axis is a S.H.M.
Reason `:` The earth completes each roation about its axis in 24 hours while orbiting around earth.

A

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

B

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

C

Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

both,Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
Here, both the assertion and reason are false. The rotation of earth about its axis is periodic but not to and fro about a fixed point, hence not a S.H.M.
