Choose the correct statements based on why Ram is able to see through hollow pipe.
Statement 1: Ram is using a curved pipe.
Statement 2: Light travels in a straight line.

• A. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
• B. Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is incorrect.
• C. Both statements are correct.
  
• D. Both statements are incorrect.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is incorrect.

Light travels in a straight line in a medium. So, the pipe should be straight to see through it. Ram is able to see but Shyam is unable to see through the pipe.
Therefore, we can say that Ram is using a straight pipe but Shyam is using a curved pipe.
