Assertion A : A spherical body of radius having a particular density is falling through a
liquid of constant density. The percentage error in

body falling through the liquid is inversely
proportional to its radius.

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.

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.
