Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. hence Mechanical advantage increase as the angle of inclination decrease.Hence assertion is correct.
Angle of inclination is directly proposition to vertical height. hence reason is also true.
