Ques. No 16-20 are assertion reason type questions, answer the following using below direction.
a. Both Assertion A and Reason R are the true and Reason R is a correct explanation of Assertion A.
b. Both Assertion A and Reason R are the true but Reason R is not a correct explanation of Assertion A.
c. Assertion A is true and Reason R is false.
d. Assertion A is false and Reason R is true.
16 Assertion : It is easier to cook food at sea level as compared to higher altitudes.
Reason : The boiling point of water increases at high altitudes. 1
17 Assertion : While walking on ice, one should take small steps to avoid slipping.
Reason : This is because smaller steps ensure smaller friction. 1
18 Assertion : A cell swells up when present in a hypotonic solution.
Reason : More water molecules enter the cell than they leave. 1
19 Assertion : the speedometer of a car measures the instantaneous speed of the car.
Reason : Average speed is equal to the total distance covered by an object divided by the total time taken. 1
20 Assertion : Any two objects in the universe attract each other by a force called gravitational force.
Reason : The force of gravitation exerted by the earth is called gravity. 1
