Assertion :For a particle performing SHM, its speed decreases as it goes away from the mean position. Reason: In SHM, the acceleration is always opposite to the velocity of the particle.

Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
in SHM
$v = ω \sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}$
If we move away from mean position, $x$ increases, so $v$ will decrease. So the assertion is true.
and the reason is incorrect since in SHM, the acceleration is always opposite to the displacement of the particle, not always opposite to the velocity of the particle.
So the correct choice is 'C'.
