The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "The force of tension on a body always acts away from the body." - **Explanation**: Tension is a force that is transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends. In a Free Body Diagram (FBD), if we have a mass connected to a string, the tension force will always pull away from the mass towards the point of connection. Therefore, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Friction force always opposes the motion of a body." - **Explanation**: Friction is a force that resists the relative motion between two surfaces in contact. It acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the object. However, it is important to note that friction opposes relative motion, not just motion. This means that if there is no motion, friction can still act to prevent the initiation of motion. Therefore, the statement is **false** because it oversimplifies the nature of friction. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: False - Therefore, the correct option is C. ---
