Assertion: A cyclist bends inwards from his vertical position, while turning to secure the necessary centripetal force.

Question

Assertion Reasoning Type question

A statement of Assertion (A) is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason (R) just below it/of the statements, mark the correct answer as 

(A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation 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) If assertion is false but reason is true. 

(E) If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: A cyclist bends inwards from his vertical position, while turning to secure the necessary centripetal force. 

Reason: Friction between the tyres and road provides him the necessary centripetal force.

Answer 1

(C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

N sin θ = \(\frac{mv^2}R\)

N cos θ = mg

It is not the friction between the tyres that provide him centripetal force, but it is component of Normal force.

Answer 2

Correct answer is 

(C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
