Question

In the question given below, there are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the codes provided below:
Assertion (A): A ship rises as it enters the sea from a river.
Reason (R): The density of sea water is higher as compared to river water.

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

Hint:

When dealing with assertions and reasons, ensure both parts are scientifically correct and logically related.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: The assertion states that a ship rises as it enters the sea from a river. This is correct, as the ship's buoyancy increases when moving from less dense river water to more dense sea water.
Step 2: The reason provided is that the density of sea water is higher compared to river water, which is true. This is the explanation for why the ship rises when entering the sea.
