The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "The displacement-time graph of a body moving with uniform acceleration is a straight line." - For a body moving with uniform acceleration, the displacement (s) is given by the equation: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \] where \( u \) is the initial velocity, \( a \) is the acceleration, and \( t \) is the time. - In this equation, the term \( \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \) indicates that displacement is not directly proportional to time; instead, it is proportional to the square of time. Therefore, the graph of displacement versus time will not be a straight line but a curve (specifically, a parabola). **Conclusion for Assertion**: The assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "The displacement is proportional to time for uniformly accelerated motion." - From the equation of motion, we see that displacement is given by: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \] - The term \( ut \) is linear with respect to time, but the term \( \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \) shows that the overall displacement is not linear with respect to time; it is quadratic. **Conclusion for Reason**: The reason is also **false**. ### Final Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
