4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
easy

$Assertion$ : A rocket moves forward by pushing the surrounding air backwards.

$Reason$ : It derives the necessary thrust to move forward according to Newton’s third law of motion

A

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
