Assertion : When the lift moves with uniform velocity the man in the lift will feel weightlessness.
Reason : In downward accelerated motion of lift, apparent weight of a body decreases.

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 the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For uniform motion apparent weight = Actual weight for downward accelerated motion,
Apparent weight ` lt ` Actual weight .
