The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the assertion and reason given in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Positions**: - We have a particle in Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) with maximum displacement (amplitude) \( A \). - The particle moves from \( x = A \) to \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) and then from \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) to \( x = \frac{A}{2} \). 2. **Finding Angles**: - For the position \( x = A \), the angle \( \theta_1 \) corresponding to this position is \( 0^\circ \) (since it is at maximum displacement). - For the position \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \): \[ \cos(\theta_1) = \frac{x}{A} = \frac{\sqrt{3}A/2}{A} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies \theta_1 = 30^\circ \] - For the position \( x = \frac{A}{2} \): \[ \cos(\theta_2) = \frac{x}{A} = \frac{A/2}{A} = \frac{1}{2} \implies \theta_2 = 60^\circ \] 3. **Calculating the Angle Covered**: - The angle covered when moving from \( x = A \) to \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) is: \[ \Delta \theta_1 = \theta_1 - 0 = 30^\circ \] - The angle covered when moving from \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) to \( x = \frac{A}{2} \) is: \[ \Delta \theta_2 = \theta_2 - \theta_1 = 60^\circ - 30^\circ = 30^\circ \] 4. **Time Calculation**: - The total angle in one complete cycle (one period \( T \)) is \( 360^\circ \). - The time taken to cover \( 30^\circ \) is: \[ t = \frac{30^\circ}{360^\circ} \times T = \frac{1}{12} T \] - Thus, the time taken for both intervals is the same, \( \frac{1}{12} T \). 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion states that the time taken to move from \( x = A \) to \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) is the same as the time taken to move from \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) to \( x = \frac{A}{2} \), which we found to be true. - The reason states that the corresponding angles rotated in the reference circle are the same, which is also true. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are correct. ---

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the assertion and reason given in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Positions**: - We have a particle in Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) with maximum displacement (amplitude) \( A \). - The particle moves from \( x = A \) to \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) and then from \( x = \frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2} \) to \( x = \frac{A}{2} \). ...
