Assertion : A body falling freely may ...

Assertion : A body falling freely may do so with constant velocity.
Reason : The body falls freely, when acceleration of a body is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

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:
