NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The pressure in a fluid at rest increases with depth.
Reason (R): Pressure in a fluid at rest is uniform at all points of the same height.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true: pressure increases with depth due to added weight, and pressure is uniform at a given height, but the latter does not explain the former.
