Assertion: Mass is a property of one object alone, whereas weight results from the interaction between two objects.
Reason: The weight of an object is proportional to its mass.
Reason: The weight of an object is proportional to its mass.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because mass is an intrinsic property while weight is due to gravitational interaction, and weight is proportional to mass, but the latter doesn't explain the former.

Assertion: A body can be at rest even when a number of external forces are acting on it.
Reason: It can happen, when the forces acting on the body are concurrent.
Reason: It can happen, when the forces acting on the body are concurrent.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true, but reason is false.
The correct answer is C because the assertion is true (a body can be at rest with multiple forces), but the reason is false (forces need to have a zero resultant, not just be concurrent).

A man is slipping on a frictionless inclined plane and a bag falls down from the same height. Then the velocity of both is related as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Option C is correct because both the man and the bag experience the same acceleration due to gravity, resulting in the same final velocity after falling from the same height.

Statement I: By pressing a block against a rough wall, one can balance it.
Statement II: Smooth walls can not hold the block by pressing the block against the wall, however high the force is exerted.
Statement II: Smooth walls can not hold the block by pressing the block against the wall, however high the force is exerted.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Statement - I and Statement - II are true but Statement - II is not the correct explanation of Statement - I
The correct answer is B because both statements are true, but the reason doesn't explain the assertion; Statement I is about friction, and Statement II is about the absence of friction.

Statement-2: Man pushes down on the scale while squatting.
Statement-2: Man pushes down on the scale while squatting.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement- 1 is false, Statement-2 is true
The correct answer is D (Statement- 1 is false, Statement-2 is true) because the scale reading will decrease as the man squats down, and the man does push down on the scale.

Assertion: Suppose there is a body in an elevator that is moving downward direction; Then the apparent weight of the body is less than the original weight of the body
Reason: There is a force produced by the lift itself
Reason: There is a force produced by the lift itself
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Assertion is true, but Reason is false
Option C is correct because the Assertion is true (apparent weight is less when moving downwards), but the Reason is false (the force is due to acceleration, not the lift itself).

Assertion: Same force applied for the same time causes the same change in momentum for different bodies
Reason: The total momentum of an isolated system of interacting bodies remains conserved.
Reason: The total momentum of an isolated system of interacting bodies remains conserved.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion.
Option B (Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion) is correct because both statements are true, but the conservation of momentum doesn't directly explain why equal force over equal time causes equal momentum change.
