View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion
Option B (both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion) is correct. Surface tension, not buoyancy, is the main reason a needle floats.

The pressure at the bottom of a tank containing a liquid does not depend on
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Area of the bottom surface
Option C (Area of the bottom surface) is correct because the pressure at a certain depth in a liquid depends only on the depth, density of the liquid, and acceleration due to gravity, and not on the area of the bottom surface.

Assertion: If an object is submerged in fluid at rest, the fluid exerts a force on its surface.
Reason: Force exerted by the fluid at rest has to be parallel to the surface in contact with it.
Reason: Force exerted by the fluid at rest has to be parallel to the surface in contact with it.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true but reason is false
Option C is correct. The assertion is true because fluids exert force on submerged surfaces. The reason is false because the force exerted by a fluid at rest is perpendicular (normal) to the surface.

A: A hydrogen filled balloon stops raising after it has attained a certain height in the sky
R: The buoyancy of an object depends both on the material and shape of the object
R: The buoyancy of an object depends both on the material and shape of the object
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. The balloon stops rising because the buoyancy decreases as the atmospheric density decreases with height, and the reason correctly states that buoyancy depends on the object's material and shape.

Two identical spherical soap bubbles collapses. If is the consequent change in volume of the contained air, is the change in the total surface area and is the surface tension of the soap solution, then (if is atmospheric pressure and assume temperature to remain same in all the bubbles).
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Option A () is correct because the work done by the atmospheric pressure is related to the change in volume, and the change in surface energy is related to the change in surface area, and the sum of these must be zero.
