Assertion When a bus starts suddenly, a person standing in it falls backwards. Reason It is due to inertia of rest.

1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
4. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

Correct answer: Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

When the bus starts suddenly, the feet move forward with the bus, but the upper body tends to remain at rest due to inertia. This makes the person appear to fall backward, so both statements are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
