Assertion: When a cyclist moves on the road, work done by the road on the cyclist is negative.

Reason: It is because the frictional force between the road and the tyres of the cycle is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the cyclist.

Answer 1

The explanation for the Assertion statement:

1. The friction of the road helps the cycle to move, and its direction is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the cycle.

The explanation for the Reason statement:

1. The frictional force between the road and the tyres of the cycle is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the cyclist.
2. Therefore, the assertion is false but the reason is true.

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
