Question

Assertion (A): Velocity is a vector.

Reason (R): Velocity has both magnitude and direction.

• A. A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is true but R is false.
• D. Both A and R are false.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Step 1 Explanation of Assertion

1. We know velocity is a defined change in displacement per unit of time.
2. Since displacement is a vector quantity and has a magnitude and direction.

Step 2 Explanation of Reason

Therefore, velocity is also vector quantity and has magnitude and direction.

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
