Assertion : A person touching a high power line gas stuck with the line.
Reason : The current carrying wires attract the man toward it.

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:
C

There is no special attractive force that keeps a person stuck with a high power line. The actual reason is that a current of the order of .0 05 A or even less is enough to bring disorder in our nervous system. As a result of it, the affected person may lose temporarily his ability to exercise his nervous control to get himself free from the high power line.
