| Assertion (A): Compass needle points the magnetic north-south direction. |
| Reason (R): The magnetic meridian of the earth merges with the axis of rotation of earth. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C) A is true but R is false
D) A is false and R is true
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
| Option [d] is correct. |
| Explanation: Compass needle points the magnetic north-south direction. So the assertion is true. |
| Earth's magnetic meridian is along its axis through magnetic north-south direction. |
| Earth's axis of rotation is along its geographic north-south direction. The angle between these two axes is \[{{11.3}^{o}}\]. Hence, the reason is also false |
