Assertion: A man in a dosed cabin falling freely does not experience gravity.
Reason: Inertial and gravitational mass have equivalence.

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are truebut reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Both man and lift are falling freely with acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity. The relative acceleration of the man with respect to the cabin is zero.
