KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true because when a moving body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, its motion is defined as uniform motion.

Reason (R) is true because in uniform motion, the speed remains constant, meaning the body covers the same distance in each equal time interval.

The Reason justifies the Assertion because constant speed directly leads to equal distance covered in equal time intervals which is nothing but definition of uniform motion.

Therefore, both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
