Question:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): A person jumping out of the moving bus falls forward because his feet suddenly come to rest, while his body is in motion with the bus.

Reason (R): This is based on Newton's Second law of motions, which states that a body continues to be in it's state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by an external force to change that state.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options:

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(A) is correct but (R) is not correct

(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Correct Answer:

(A) is correct but (R) is not correct

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct but the Statement 2 is incorrect because inertial law is Newton's 1st Law.

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
