The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "We cannot hear the sound produced by a vibrating pendulum." - This implies that the sound produced by a vibrating pendulum is not audible to the human ear. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "The frequency of the pendulum is very less." - This suggests that the frequency of the sound produced by the pendulum is below a certain threshold. ### Step 3: Determine the Threshold Frequency for Hearing - The human ear can typically hear sounds in the frequency range of approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). - Sounds with frequencies below 20 Hz are considered infrasonic and are not audible to humans. ### Step 4: Analyze the Frequency of the Pendulum - The frequency of a vibrating pendulum is generally very low, often less than 20 Hz. - Since the frequency of the pendulum is less than 20 Hz, it falls outside the audible range for humans. ### Step 5: Conclusion - Since the frequency of the pendulum is indeed very low (less than 20 Hz), it confirms that we cannot hear the sound produced by it. - Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. Thus, the answer is option 1. ---
