Assertion (A): Two identical trains move in opposite senses in equatorial plane with same speeds relative to the earth's surface. They have equal magnitude of normal reaction.
Reason (R): The trains have different centripetal accelerations due to different speeds.

  1. A Both A and R are true and R is a correct explanation for A
  2. B Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation for A
  3. C A is true, R is false
  4. D A is false, R. is false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A is false, R. is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The train which is moving along the direction of rotation of earth that is west to east, will require less centripetal force compared to train moving in opposite direction. Since the centripetal force is more on the train which move along the direction of rotation of earth…
