Assertion : In order to hit a target, ...

Assertion : In order to hit a target, a man should point his rifle in the same direction as target.
Reason : The horizontal range of the bullet is dependent on the angle of projectile with horizontal direction.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The man should point his rifle at a point higher than the target since the bullet suffers a vertically downward deflection `(y = 1/2 "gt"^(2))` due to gravity.
