Question

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

Assertion :The velocity of a body is a vector quantity.
Reason : A vector quantity has only magnitude and no direction.

• A. If both Assertion and Reason are correet 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 C

If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

Explanation for correct option:

Option (c): If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

Assertion

1. As we know, there are two types of quantities: one is Scalar Quantity and the other is Vector Quantity.
2. Scalar quantities are those quantities that have only magnitude, while vector Quantities are those quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
3. The velocity of the body is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction.
4. Hence, the statement given in the assertion is correct.

Reason

1. As A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
2. Hence, the statement given in the reason is not correct.

Hence, the assertion is correct, and the reason is incorrect.

So, option (c) is the correct answer.
