Assertion Path of a particle in SHM is always a straight line. Reason All straig
Assertion Path of a particle in SHM is always a straight line. Reason All straight line motions are not simple harmonic.
- A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- D. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Step-by-step solution
Assertion is false: SHM can be linear (straight line) or angular (e.g., pendulum follows an arc). Reason is true: straight line motion can be uniform, accelerated, etc., not necessarily SHM. Therefore, Assertion is incorrect, Reason is correct.
