Assertion : Kinematic equations are exact and are always correct.
Reason : The definitions of instantaneous velocity and acceleration are true only for motion in which the magnitude and direction of acceleration are constant during the course of motion.

A

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanations of assertion.

C

Assertion is true but reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason is false

The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements separately and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion **Assertion:** Kinematic equations are exact and are always correct. - Kinematic equations, such as \( v = u + at \), \( s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 \), and \( v^2 = u^2 + 2as \), are derived under the assumption that acceleration is constant. - If the acceleration is not constant, these equations do not hold true. - Therefore, the assertion that kinematic equations are always correct is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason **Reason:** The definitions of instantaneous velocity and acceleration are true only for motion in which the magnitude and direction of acceleration are constant during the course of motion. - Instantaneous velocity is defined as the limit of the average velocity as the time interval approaches zero, \( v = \frac{dx}{dt} \). - Instantaneous acceleration is defined as the limit of the average acceleration as the time interval approaches zero, \( a = \frac{dv}{dt} \). - These definitions are valid for any motion, regardless of whether the acceleration is constant or not. - Thus, the reason is also **false**. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
