Question

Assertion : In javelin throw, the athlete throws the projectile at an angle slightly more than ${45}^{\circ }$.
Reason : The maximum range does not depends upon angle of projection.

• 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.
• E. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is D If the assertion and reason both are false.

If a body is projected from a place above the surface of earth, then for the maximum range, the angle of projection should be slightly less than ${45}^{\circ }$.
