Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): During Aquatic therapy an individual experiences greater resistance at higher speed movement and lesser resistance at slower speed movement.
Reason (R): The resistive force of surface tension changes proportionally to the size of the object moving through the fluid surface.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer.

• 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:

Water resistance ∝ Velocity² Surface tension is negligible in movement resistance

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
