MCQ
$Assertion$ : Specific gravity of a fluid is a dimensionless quantity.

$Reason$ : It is the ratio of density of fluid to the density of water

  • 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.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: A.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
a
Specific gravity of fluid

$ = \frac{{{\rm{density of fluid}}}}{{{\rm{density of water}}}}$

It is a ratio.
