A liquid flows through a pipe of non-uniform cross-section. If A1{A_1} and A2{A_2} are the cross-sectional area of the pipe at two points, the ratio of velocities of the liquid at these points will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A2A1\frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}}
Option C (A2A1\frac{{{A_2}}}{{{{A_1}}}}) is correct because the ratio of velocities is inversely proportional to the ratio of cross-sectional areas according to the equation of continuity.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
y>xy > x
Option B (y>xy > x) is correct because the density of water is maximum at 4°C, so the fraction submerged will be smaller at 4°C than at 20°C.

Assertion: At depth hh below the water surface pressure is pp. Then at depth 2h2 h pressure will be 2p2 p. (Ignore density variation).

Reason: With depth pressure increases linearly.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If Assertion is false but the Reason is true
Option D is correct because pressure increases linearly with depth, but the total pressure is the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the water column, so doubling the depth does not double the total pressure.

Statement I: A ship floats higher in water on a high
pressure day than on a low pressure day.
Statement II: Floating of ship in the water is possible
because of the buoyant force which is present due to the
pressure difference.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement I is false; Statement II is true
Option D (Statement I is false; Statement II is true) is correct because a ship's floating depends on buoyant force due to water displacement, independent of atmospheric pressure, while the statement about buoyant force is correct.

A: It is difficult for a man to walk on sand But camel walk easily on sand
R: Camels feet have larger area than feet of man hence pressure is less
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Option A (Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A) is correct because the larger area of a camel's feet reduces the pressure on the sand, making it easier to walk.

Assertion: Pressure is a vector quantity.

Reason: Pressure P=FAP=\frac{F}{A}. Here FF, the force is a vector quantity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If Assertion is false but the Reason is true
Option D (If Assertion is false but the Reason is true) is correct because pressure is a scalar quantity, not a vector, but the formula P=F/A correctly uses force as a vector.
