Assertion & Reason

Directions : In the following questions, a statement of assertion
is followed by a statement of reason. Mark the correct choice as :
(a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the
, com;ct eJfPlanation of assertion.
(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) Ifboth assertion and reason are false.
1. Assertion : A body, whatever its motion is always at rest
in a frame of,reference which is fixed to the body itself.
Reason : The relative velocity of a body with respect to
itself is zero.
2. Assertion : Displacement of a body may be zero when
distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason : 1Jie displacement is the longest distance between
initial and final position.
