The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Bernoulli's theorem is applicable only on laminar flow." - **Understanding Bernoulli's Theorem**: Bernoulli's theorem applies to fluid flow under certain conditions. It is applicable to both laminar and turbulent flows, provided the flow is steady, incompressible, and along a streamline. - **Conclusion**: The assertion is **false** because Bernoulli's theorem is not limited to laminar flow; it can also apply to turbulent flow under the right conditions. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Laminar flow is considered to be non-viscous." - **Understanding Laminar Flow**: Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, orderly fluid motion where layers of fluid slide past one another. However, this does not mean that the flow is non-viscous. In fact, laminar flow involves viscous forces, and the viscosity of the fluid plays a significant role in this type of flow. - **Conclusion**: The reason is also **false** because laminar flow is not considered non-viscous; it has viscosity that affects the flow behavior. ### Final Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Summary of the Solution 1. The assertion that Bernoulli's theorem is applicable only to laminar flow is false. 2. The reason that laminar flow is considered to be non-viscous is also false. 3. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are false.
