Solution

The correct option is A

True


The pressure of air reduces when it moves fast. This principle was explained by a scientist named bernoulli. Hence it is called bernoulli's principle. It states that, as the speed of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.

The wings of a plane are designed in an aerofoil shape such that the velocity of air above the wings will be more than the velocity of air below. So, there will be a pressure acting on the wings in an upward direction (from the bottom of the wings to the upper region). This thrust helps the plane to take off.

Therefore, an aeroplane works on the principle of bernoulli's principle to generate lift on its wings.
