Assertion : When a cyclist doubles his speed of turning, the chance of his skidding becomes nearly four times. Reason: When the speed of the vehicle increases, the angle of bending also increases.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
For the banking of curve, = v^2 r g . When velocity v is doubled, becomes four times. With increase in , the chance of overturning also increases. When v increases, increases and consequently chance of skidding or overturning becomes greater.
