MCQ
$Assertion$ : A helicopter must necessarily have two propellers.
$Reason$ : Two propellers are provided in helicopter in order to conserve linear momentum
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
If there were only one propeller in the helicopter, the helicopter itself, would have turned in opposite direction of the direction of propeller due to conservation of angular momentum. Thus two propeller provides helicopter a steady movement.
