Assertion and Reason type questions; DIRECTIONS. In each of the following
questions, read the two statements and choose if (A) both Assertion and Reason are
true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion. (B) both Assertion and
Reason are true, but the Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion. (C)
Assertion is true and Reason is false. (D) both, Assertion and Reason are false.
1. Assertion. The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose pipe
tends to spread like a fountain when held vertically up but tends to narrow down
when held vertically down. Reason. In any steady flow of an incompressible
fluid, the volume flow rate of the fluid remains constant.
(a) (A) (b) B (c) C (d) D 2.

Assertion: A bubble comes from the bottom of a lake to the top.


Reason: Its radius increases.
(a) (A) (b) B (c) C (d) D
3. Assertion: The angle of contact of a liquid with a solid decrease with
increase in temperature. Reason: With increase in temperature, the
su1facc tension of the liquid increases.
(a)(A) (b) B (c) C (d) D
4. Assertion: A needle; placed carefully on the surface of water may float,
whereas a ball of the same material will always sink.
Reason: The buoyancy on an object depends both on the material and
shape of the object. (a)(A) (b) B (c) C (d) D
5. Assertion: Aeroplanes are made to nm on the runway before takeoff, so
that they acquire the necessary lift.
Reason: According to Bernoulli's theorem as velocity increases pressure
decreases and viceversa.
