Assertion : One two sides of a point mass, gravitational field strength is same at same distance,
Reason : As we move away from a point mass, value of gravitational potential decreases.

A

If both Assertin and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

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

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
On two sides of a point mass, direction of gravitational field strength will be different. Further, gravitational potential is negative. Hence, if increase in moving away from the point mass.
