NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The pressure at a point inside a fluid at rest is independent of the orientation of the surface passing through the point. | Reason (R): Fluid pressure at a point acts equally in all directions at that point.
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
In a fluid at rest, pressure acts equally in all directions, making it independent of the surface orientation at a point, consistent with the assertion and reason.
