Assertion: If a ball is thrown with a velocity of 12 m/s in deep space, the ball will keep moving with the same velocity.
Reason: A body continues to be in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Solution

The correct option is B Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
A moving body continues to be in motion unless acted upon by an external opposing force. As there is no gravity in deep space, there is no opposing force acting on the moving ball. Therefore, it continues to be in motion with the same velocity.
