Given below are two statements: one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A : A spherical body of radius (5±0.1)  mm\left( {5 \pm 0.1} \right)\,\,{\text{mm}} having a particular density is falling through a
liquid of constant density. The percentage error in
the calculation of its terminal velocity is 4%.

Reason R : The terminal velocity of the spherical
body falling through the liquid is inversely
proportional to its radius.

In the light of the above statements, choose the
correct answer from the options given below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A is true but R is false
Option C is correct. The percentage error in terminal velocity is indeed 4%, but the terminal velocity is proportional to the square of the radius, not inversely proportional.

Assertion: The upper surface of the wings of an aeroplane is made convex and the lower surface is made concave.
Reason: The air currents at the top have a smaller velocity and thus less pressure at the bottom than at the top.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true, but reason is false
Option C (If assertion is true, but reason is false) is correct because the convex upper surface and concave lower surface of an airplane wing create higher velocity and lower pressure above the wing, not the other way around.

Reason:- Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.
View answer and explanation

Assertion(A): A solid sphere and a hollow sphere both of same material are immersed in a liquid, then change in weight in both the spheres will be same.

Reason(R): Upthrust depends upon the volume of the solid immersed not the mass.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because upthrust depends on the volume of the immersed object, which determines the weight of the displaced fluid, hence affecting the change in weight.
