is followed by a statement of reason 
. Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: Potential energy of a stretched or compressed spring, is directly proportional to square of extension or compression.
Reason: Graph between potential energy of a spring versus the extension or compression of the spring is a straight line.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Potential energy 
i.e. 
This is a equation of parabola, so graph between U and x is a parabola, not straight line.
