Question

DIRECTIONS : Each of these questions contains an Assertion followed by Reason. Read them carefully and answer the question on the basis of following options. You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.

Assertion: When a bullet is fired from a gun, there is a forward force on the bullet and recoil of gun.
Reason: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

• A. If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
• B. If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
• C. If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
• D. If Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

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

Assertion

1. Gun recoil is caused by the conservation of momentum, according to science.
2. As a result, when a bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet experiences forward force as well as gun recoil.
3. The given statement is correct.

Reason

1. Every action has an equal and opposite response, according to Newton's third law of motion.
2. Newton's third law states that there is an equal and opposite reaction to every action.
3. The statement implies that there are two forces acting on the two interacting objects in every interaction.
4. The forces acting on the first object are equivalent to the forces acting on the second object.

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

Therefore, option (A) is the correct answer.
