The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous acceleration is never zero in the interval." - Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. If a particle returns to its starting point after a time interval, its displacement is zero, leading to an average velocity of zero. - Instantaneous acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity at a specific instant. It can be non-zero even if the average velocity is zero. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "The magnitude of average velocity in an interval is equal to its average speed in that interval." - Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. The average speed and average velocity are not always equal; they are equal only when the motion is in a straight line without changing direction. - In the case where the particle returns to the starting point (like in circular motion), the average velocity can be zero while the average speed is not. ### Step 3: Conclusion - The assertion is true: it is possible for the average velocity to be zero while the instantaneous acceleration is not. - The reason is false: the magnitude of average velocity is not necessarily equal to average speed, especially in cases of circular motion or any motion where the direction changes. ### Final Answer Thus, the correct option is: **Assertion is true, but the reason is false.** ---
