Question

Statement 1: The turbine is used for generating electricity in thermal power plant, a hydropower plant and geothermal power plant.

Statement 2: Because turbine converts one form of energy to mechanical energy which further produces electric energy.

• A. Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct, but statement 2 is not the reason for statement 1.
• B. Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect.
• C. Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct, statement 2 is the reason for statement 1.
• D. Both statements are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct, statement 2 is the reason for statement 1.

Thermal power plant and geothermal power plant converts the kinetic energy of steam into mechanical energy through turbine rotation. Similarly, hydropower plant also converts the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy through turbine rotation.
