B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since the particles of dust are like spheres of very small radii and when it acquires the terminal velocity they begin through air. As from the definition, the terminal velocity of dust particles is directly proportional to the square of its radii. Thus, the terminal velocity of dust particle is very small and so they settle down in a closed room after some time.
