Assertion: The velocity increases, when water flowing in broader pipe enter a narrow pipe.
Reason: According to equation of continuity, product of area and velocity is constant.

Options

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.

Answer

A

Explanation

In a stream line flow of a liquid, according to equation of continuity av = constant.
Where a is the area of cross section and v is the velocity of liquid flow. When water flowing in a broader pipe enters a narrow pipe, the area of cross-section of water decreases therefore the velocity of water increases.
