B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, true but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that when a bucket filled with water is whirled overhead in a circular motion, the water does not fall out at the top of the circular path. - This phenomenon can be observed when the bucket is rotated with sufficient speed. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that the centripetal force acting on the water at the top of the circular path is greater than the weight of the water. - Centripetal force is the force required to keep an object moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center of the circle. 3. **Analyzing Forces at the Top of the Circular Path**: - At the top of the circular path, two forces act on the water: - The gravitational force (weight of the water) acting downwards. - The centripetal force required to keep the water moving in a circular path, which is also directed downwards at this point. - For the water to remain in the bucket and not fall out, the centripetal force must be equal to or greater than the gravitational force. 4. **Condition for Water to Stay in the Bucket**: - If the centripetal force is greater than the gravitational force, the water will stay in the bucket. - The centripetal force can be expressed as \( F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \), where \( m \) is the mass of the water, \( v \) is the velocity of the bucket, and \( r \) is the radius of the circular path. - The gravitational force can be expressed as \( F_g = mg \), where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 5. **Conclusion**: - When the bucket is whirled fast enough, the centripetal force indeed becomes greater than the weight of the water, allowing the water to stay in the bucket without falling out. - Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
