The correct Answer is:
To solve the 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 motion of a ceiling fan is rotational only." - A ceiling fan rotates around a fixed axis (the point where it is mounted to the ceiling). This rotation is indeed a rotational motion. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "The motion of a rigid body which is pivoted is fixed for rotation." - A rigid body that is pivoted at a point can rotate around that pivot. The ceiling fan, being pivoted at the ceiling, rotates around that fixed point. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Since the ceiling fan rotates around its axis and does not translate (move linearly) in space, we can conclude that the assertion is true. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason correctly explains why the ceiling fan exhibits only rotational motion. Because it is pivoted at a fixed point, it can only rotate around that point. Therefore, the reason is also true. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - **Option A**: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
