Assertion: A balloon ascends from the surface of earth with constant speed. When it was at a height 50 m above the ground, a packet is dropped from it. To an observer on the balloon, the displacement of the packet, from the moment it is dropped to the moment it reaches the surface of earth, is 50 m Reason: Displacement (vector) depends upon the reference frame used to measure it.

(A): A balloon ascends from the surface of earth with constant speed. When it was at a height 50m above the ground, a packet is dropped from it. To an abserver on the balloon, the displacement of the packet, from the moment it is dropped to the moment it reaches the surface of earth is 50m. (R): Displacement vector does not depend upon the reference frame used to measure it.
