For question two statements are given. One labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason(R). Select
the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a) , (b), (c) and (d) as given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(xvii)Assertion : The mirror used in search lights are concave spherical.

Reason : In concave spherical mirror the image formed is always virtual.

light in that medium.
Reason : Refractive index is inversely proportional to velocity

(xix)Assertion : The height of an object is always considered positive.

Reason : An object is always placed above the principal axis in this upward direction.

(xx)Assertion : Refractive index has no units.
