Question

Assertion A safe turn by a cyclist should neither be fast nor sharp.
Reason The bending angle from the vertical would decrease with increase in velocity.

• A. if both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
• B. if both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is nor the correct explanation of the Assertion
• C. if Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. if Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

For safe turn $\tan \theta \geq \frac{v^{2}}{r g}$
It is clear that for safe turn $v$ should be small and $r$ should be large. Also bending angle from the vertical would increase with increase in velocity.
