In this question, a statement of assertion 
is followed by a statement of reason (r). Mark
the correct choice as:
Assertion: Velocity is a vector quantity.
Reason: A bus moving due north takes a turn and starts moving towards east with same speed. There will be no change in the velocity of bus.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
: As velocity is a vector quantity, its value changes with change in direction. Therefore, when a
bus takes a turn from north to east its velocity will also change. Velocity is proportional to displacement and displacement is distance travelled in a particular direction. Hence velocity is a vector quantity which depends on direction of body
