Assertion :- Unit vector is used to describe a direction in space. Reason :- Unit vector has a unit through its magnitude is one.

Assertion: A vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and a direction and obeys the triangle law of addition or equivalent the parallelogram law of addition. Reason: The magnitude of the resultant vector of two given vectors can never be less than the magnitude of any of the given vector.

A person can not see object in two orthogonal direction clearly. It can be removed by using cylindrical lens in particular direction.

Statement-I : When the direction of motion of a particle moving in a circular path is reversed the direction of radial acceleration still remains the same (at the given point). Statement-II : Particle revolves on circular path in any direction such as clockwise or anticlockwise the direction of radius accelerationis always towards the centre of the circular path.
