Q2. ASSERTION AND REASONING

2.1 Assertion: Gases are highly compressible.
Reason: There is large amounts of space between the gas particles which allow them to be compressed together under
pressure.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
b) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
c) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

2.2 Assertion: A desert cooler cools better on a hot dry day.

Reason: On a hot dry day, the temperature is high and humidity is low. The water takes heat from the hot desert
cooler and evaporates. The evaporation of water cools the pads and the circulating water.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
b) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
c) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

2.3 Assertion: In Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment, only one among the 20000 alpha particles diverted.
Reason: Most of the space in the atom is vacant.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
b) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
c) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

2.4 Assertion: Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

Reason: This is law of definite proportions.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
b) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
c) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

2.5 Assertion: Mechanical energy is the sum of macroscopic kinetic and potential energies.
Reason: Mechanical energy is that part of total energy which always remain conserved.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
b) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
c) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
