Assertion: When the stopcock over the -tube having a large bubble at its one end and a small bubble at the other end is opened, air flows from the large bubble to the small bubble.
Reason: The pressure inside the large bubble is greater than that inside small bubble.
Reason: The pressure inside the large bubble is greater than that inside small bubble.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both assertion and reason are false
Option D (If both assertion and reason are false) is correct because the pressure inside a smaller bubble is actually greater than the pressure inside a larger bubble due to surface tension, and air flows from higher to lower pressure.

Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
Option B (Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A) is correct. The assertion and reason are both true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. The decrease in mercury level is due to the pseudo force acting downwards.

Assertion: Paper pins are made to have pointed end.
Reason: Because pointed pins have very small area due to which even for small applied force it exert large pressure on the surface.
Reason: Because pointed pins have very small area due to which even for small applied force it exert large pressure on the surface.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct. Pressure is inversely proportional to area, so a smaller area results in higher pressure for the same force.

A: An ice block with lead short is floating in water. When ice melt completely water level slightly drops.
R: When ice block with less shot is placed in water, volume of displaced water is more then that of the ice block
R: When ice block with less shot is placed in water, volume of displaced water is more then that of the ice block
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
Option B (Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A) is correct. The water level drops because the volume of water displaced by the melted ice is less than the volume of water displaced by the ice block with the lead shot. The reason is true but doesn't explain the drop in water level.

The rate of flow of liquid through a capillary tube of radius is when the pressure difference across the two ends of the capillary is . If pressure is increased by 3 and radius is reduced to , then the rate of flow becomes
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Option C () is correct because the rate of flow is proportional to the pressure difference and the fourth power of the radius, so increasing the pressure by a factor of 4 and halving the radius results in a flow rate that is 1/4 of the original.
