Assertion : On a curved path, average speed of a particle can never be equal to average velocity.
Reason : Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time. Whereas average velocity is, final velocity plus initial velocity divided by two.

Options

A. If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B. If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason in not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
D. If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Answer

C

Explanation

On a curved path, distance `gt` displacement
`therefore` average speedf `gt` average velocity
Further, average velocity `=("Total displacement")/("Total time")`
