201.

Assertion: When a beetle moves along the sand within a few tens of centimetres of a sand scorpion, the scorpion immediately turns towards the beetle and dashes towards it. 

Reason:  When a beetle disturbs the sand, it sends pulses along the sand's surface. One set of pulses is longitudinal while the other set is transverse.

Assertion: The flash of  lightening is seen before the sound of thunder is heard. 

Reason:  Speed of sound is greater than speed of light.

  • If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

  • If the assertion is true but the reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

A source of frequency 240 Hz is moving towards an observer with a velocity of 20 m/s. The observer is now moving towards the source with a velocity of 20 m/s. Apparent frequency heard by observer, if velocity of sound is 340 m/s, is

  • 268 Hz

  • 270 Hz

  • 360 Hz

  • 240 Hz


B.

270 Hz

Frequency of source n = 240 Hz

Velocity of source  vs = 20 m/s

Velocity of observer vo = 20 m/s

Velocity of sound v = 340 m/s

Given both the source and the observer are moving towards each other. Hence the apparent frequency of the source is,

    n' = n v + vov - vs

        = 240 × 340 + 20340 - 20

         =  240 × 360320

   n' = 270 Hz

Assertion: Soldiers are asked to break steps while crossing the bridge. 

Reason: The frequency of thick marching may be equal to the natural frequency of bridge and may lead to resonance which can break the bridge.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If assertion is false but reason is true.
