AIIMS 2018 Physics Bernoulli's Principle Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Assertion: Bernoulli's theorem is applicable only on laminar flow

Reason: Laminar flow is consider to be non viscous..

A

Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

Assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Bernoulli's theorem applies to both laminar and turbulent flows, making the assertion that it is only applicable to laminar flow false. Additionally, laminar flow is characterized by viscous effects, contradicting the reason that it is considered non-viscous; hence, this reason is also false. Options A and B incorrectly state that either assertion or reason is true, while option C misrepresents the nature of laminar flow, which inherently involves viscosity. Understanding that Bernoulli's principle can be applied to various flow regimes is essential for fluid dynamics.
