MCQ

$Assertion$ : The length of the day is slowly increasing.
$Reason$ : The dominant effect causing a slowdown in the rotation of the earth is the gravitational pull of other planets in the solar system.

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
The length of the day is slowly increasing not due to gravitational pull of other planets in the solar system but due to viscous force between the earth and the atmosphere around it. So Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
