    Direction: In the question Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are given then the correct answers will be as: (A) Escape velocity on earth depends upon the mass of a projected body. (R) Escape   velocity   on   the   earth \[_{ues}=\sqrt{\frac{gm}{R}}\]where m is the mass of the body?

    A) If both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

    B) If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the explanation of (A)

    C) If (A) is true but (R) is false

    D) If (A) is false but (R) is true

    E) Both (A) and (R) are false

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    As the escape velocity on the earth is \[{{\upsilon }_{es}}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}\]where M is the mass of the earth. This relation indicates that escape velocity is independent of the mass of-the projected body. Hence, both assertion and reason (R) are false
