NEET Physics Viscosity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Blood is more viscous than water.
Reason (R): Viscosity is the ratio of shearing stress to strain rate.
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 and R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true. Blood is indeed more viscous than water, and viscosity is defined as the ratio of shearing stress to strain rate. However, the reason does not explain why blood is more viscous than water.
