Question

Given below are two statements
Statement-I: The movement of the earth on its axis is called as Revolution.
Statement-II: The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path or orbit is called Rotation.
The correct answer is

• A. Only statement-I is correct
• B. Only statement-II is correct
• C. Both statement-I and statement-II are correct
• D. Both statement-I and statement-II are incorrect

Hint:

The Earth has two distinct motions: spinning on its own axis, and travelling around the Sun. Each motion has a specific name.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Read the two claims.
Statement-I calls spinning on the axis Revolution, and Statement-II calls the journey around the Sun Rotation. We just check the correct names.

Step 2: Name the axial spin.
When the Earth turns about its own axis once a day, that motion is called Rotation. It is what gives us day and night. So Statement-I uses the wrong word.

Step 3: Name the orbital path.
When the Earth travels along its fixed orbit around the Sun once a year, that motion is called Revolution. So Statement-II also uses the wrong word.

Step 4: Compare with the statements.
Both definitions in the question have the two terms swapped.

Step 5: Decide truth values.
Statement-I is wrong and Statement-II is wrong.

Step 6: Pick the option.
The matching choice is that both statements are incorrect.
\[ \boxed{\text{Both statement-I and statement-II are incorrect}} \]
