Q134 / 180 · AIIMS 2019 (26 May) · Physics

Assertion : The relative velocity between any two bodies may be equal to sum of the velocities of two bodies. Reason : Sometimes, relative velocity between two bodies may be equal to difference in velocities of the two.

  • A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • Correct answer
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

When the bodies are moving in same direction, relative velocity between them is equal to the differences in velocities of two bodies. When two bodies are moving in opposite directions, relative velocity between them is equal to the sum of the velocities of two bodies.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
