Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : The property of body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its original shape when the external force is removed, is Elasticity.
Reason (R) : The restoring force depends upon the bonded inter atomic and inter molecular force of solid.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. (A) is false but (R) is true
• B. (A) is true but (R) is false
• C. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation (A)
• D. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The assertion correctly defines the property of elasticity. The reason explains that the restoring force is a result of interatomic and intermolecular forces, which is true. However, while the reason is accurate, it does not necessarily explain the assertion in all contexts.
The Correct answer is: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation (A)
