Assertion and reason Based Questions

Each of these questions contain two statements, Assertion and Reason. Each of these
questions also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You
have to select one of the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.

(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

17. Assertion: : When the velocity of an object is zero at an instant, the acceleration need not
to be zero at that instant.
Reason: In motion under gravity, the velocity of body is zero at the top-most point.
18. Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not
Zero.
Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.
19. Assertion: The area under acceleration-time graph is equal to velocity of object.
Reason: For an object moving with constant acceleration position-time graph is a straight line.
20. Assertion: A bullet is fired from a rifle. If the rifle recoils freely, the kinetic energy of
rifle is more than that of the bullet.
Reason: In case of rifle bullet system, the law of conservation of momentum violates.
