C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
As a man jumps-out from a height in air with a parachute, its velocity increases first, because the gravity pull dominates the viscous drag and buoyancy of air which opposes the motion. As the velocity increases, the viscous drag of air also increases and soon a stage is reached where viscous drag and buoyancy of air balances the gravity pull. Then the man with a parachute falls with a constant velocity, called terminal velocity.
