Analyzing +4 | -1
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 (A is true but R is false) is correct because the percentage error calculation is valid, but the terminal velocity is directly proportional to the square of the radius, not inversely proportional to the radius.
