NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The pressure at the bottom of a fluid column increases with the height of the fluid column. | Reason (R): The pressure at a point in a fluid is the same in all directions.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The pressure at the bottom of a fluid column increases with height due to the weight of the fluid above, not because pressure is uniform in all directions.
