Option A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Option B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Option C. A is true but R is false.
Option D. A is false but R is true.

1. Assertion : An object may acquire acceleration even if it is moving at a constant speed.

Reason : With change in the direction of motion, an object can acquire acceleration.
2. Assertion : Displacement of an object may be zero even if the distance covered by it is not zero.
Reason : Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position.
3. Assertion : the speedometer of a car measures the instantaneous speed of the car.
Reason : Average speed is equal to the total distance covered by an object divided by the total time
taken.
4. Assertion : An object may have acceleration even if it is moving with uniform speed.

velocity.
6. Assertion : If a particle is moving with constant velocity, then average velocity for any time interval
is equal to instantaneous velocity.
Reason : If average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero for a given time interval, then
instantaneous velocity at some instant within this interval must be zero.
7. Assertion : The displacement of an object can be either positive, negative or zero.
