Assertion: Force on a body `A` by body `B` is equal and opposite to the force on the body `B` by `A` .
Reason: Force in nature always occur between pairs of bodies.

A

Option1: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Option2: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the not correct explanation of assertion.

C

Option3: If assertion is true but reason is false

D

Option 4: If both assertion and reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the force on a body A by body B is equal and opposite to the force on body B by A." This is a direct statement of Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. - Therefore, the assertion is **True**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "force in nature always occurs between pairs of bodies." This means that forces are interactions that require at least two objects. - This statement is also **True** because forces are indeed interactions between two bodies. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion is a specific application of Newton's Third Law, while the reason is a general statement about forces. - Although both statements are true, the reason does not specifically explain why the assertion is true. The assertion is about the nature of the forces between two specific bodies, while the reason discusses forces in general. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, the correct option is: - **Option 2**: Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

STATEMENT -1: Work done on a body A by B must be equal and opposite and the work done by A on B STATEMENT-2: if body undergoes a displacement under the action of a force, then the force must have done some work. STATEMENT-3: When we climb the stairs, it is the work done by the stairs which increases our potential energy.

Assertion : Even though net external force on a body is zero, momentum need not be conserved. Reason : The internal interaction between particles of a body cancels out momentum of each other
