Assertion: When the speed is kept fixed, time and distance are in direct proportion.

Reason: Two quantities are said to be in direct proportion if the increase (decrease) in one quantity causes the increase (decrease) in the other quantity.

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
  4. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation

The formula for distance is Distance = Speed x Time. If speed is constant, doubling the time will exactly double the distance. Thus, they are in direct proportion (DT=Speed\dfrac{D}{T} = \text{Speed}). Assertion is True.

Reason is the fundamental definition of direct proportion. Reason is True.

The reason explains why the assertion is true: because as you spend more time traveling at a fixed speed, your distance increases accordingly.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
