Solution

The correct option is A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.


Explanation for Assertion statement:

An object undergoing uniform circular motion have acceleration but no displacement.

Power is rate of doing work. It is given by

P=Wt

Where,

P= power

W= work done

t= time

Since, displacement is zero, work done become zero. And power will also be zero.

The work done by the conservation force for a closed path is zero.

Therefore, Power developed in circular motion is always zero.

Explanation for Reason statement:

Work done depends on the displacement of a body. In a circular motion, there is no displacement. Therefore, the work done is zero.

Since, Power developed in circular motion is always zero because the work done by the conservation force for a closed path is zero.

Therefore, both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Hence, option A is correct.
