Question

Assertion A: Only positive displacement pumps are used in fluid power systems.
Reason R: Positive displacement pumps maintain nearly constant pump flow rate independent of the pressure.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is not correct
• D. A is not correct but R is correct

Hint:

Positive displacement pumps are used for their ability to generate high pressure.
The constant flow rate is a characteristic, not the reason for their use.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
